Colostrum Harvesting · Private Session · Antelias & Online Thinking About Collecting Colostrum Before Birth?
Or maybe you’ve heard someone say…
- “What’s colostrum harvesting?”
- “Isn’t it too early to produce milk?”
- “Will expressing colostrum start labor?”
- “Do I really need to do it?”
- “How do I even collect it?”
If you’ve asked yourself any of these questions, you’re not alone. Colostrum harvesting is still something many pregnant women have never heard about.
But for some mothers, it can be an incredible way to feel more prepared before baby arrives.
First…
What is colostrum?
Colostrum is the very first milk your body produces. It’s often called “liquid gold” because it’s packed with nutrients, antibodies, and everything your newborn needs during their first days of life.
Although it’s produced in small amounts, that’s exactly what your baby’s tiny stomach needs after birth.
So…
What is colostrum harvesting?
Learning how to hand express and collect your colostrum during the last weeks of pregnancy, starting at 36 weeks. The collected colostrum is then safely stored and can be used after birth if needed.
Many moms tell me they feel so much more confident after learning this skill.
They’re no longer wondering: “Will I know what to do when my baby arrives?”
Who it’s for Who can benefit from colostrum harvesting?
This session may be especially helpful if:
- You’re planning to breastfeed
- You have diabetes during pregnancy
- You’re expecting twins
- You’re planning a cesarean birth
- You’ve had breastfeeding challenges before
- You’re simply someone who loves to be prepared
Even if you never need to use your stored colostrum, learning how your body works before birth can be incredibly reassuring.
What we’ll do together This isn’t just a demonstration.
It’s a private one-to-one practical session where I’ll guide you step by step.

A little message from me One of my favourite things about colostrum harvesting isn’t just collecting milk.
It’s watching women realise how amazing their bodies already are - before their baby is even born.
It’s another reminder that pregnancy isn’t just about waiting for birth. It’s about preparing for motherhood with confidence.
And sometimes, the smallest drops can make the biggest difference.
