For collecting and saving colostrum (early milk) in late pregnancy. Starter kit includes: 6x 1mL oral syringes (sterile and sealed) 2x 2.5mL oral syringes (sterile and sealed) 8x syringe caps (sterile and sealed pack) 2x collection/ feeding/ medicine cups 8x labels for your filled syringes Pink fabric storage bag (to keep your unopened syringes and caps safe before use and storage) Pink water-resistant storage bag (to keep your filled syringes safe and together in the freezer, and grab and go if you want to take your expressed colostrum to hospital or the birthing centre) - this bag is labelled "emergency snacks" on the other side, so you can reuse it after your need for colostrum storage is done and you enter the baby/ toddler life! A name tag to attach to the storage bag A mini ice pack (to keep your colostrum cold between your freezer and the hospital/ birthing centre freezer) I'd suggest popping your storage bag with filled, labelled syringes + the ice pack all together in the freezer, so you can keep it safe and then grab and go as needed! Additional oral syringes (including 1mL, 2.5mL and 5mL sizes) are also available separately. There are a variety of reasons to express breastmilk/ colostrum in late pregnancy - please chat with your midwife or obstetrician if you're not sure that it's right for you! It is recommended to start no earlier than 36 weeks for most pregnancies, and to stop if you're getting painful or uncomfortable tightenings or contractions.
