Colostrum

I'm 15 weeks pregnant and have so much colostrum coming through and I was wondering can you store it? How would you go about it? How long would it be usuable for??

There is no reason to store it. You will produce plenty when bubs comes along. All it will do is clog up your freezer and from memory you'd need to discard before bubs arrived anyway.

I wouldn't express it - it can trigger contractions. I'm sure you will make heaps if you are leaking now.

I just read somewhere that if your leaking you may only need to hand express and collect the drops. Seems like such a waste. This happened my first pregnancy and by the time my son was born I had nothing left.
