You don’t need to collect colostrum before birth — but there are times it can really help.

For example, if you have gestational diabetes, professionals often like babies to have colostrum soon after birth to help stabilise their blood sugar levels. Having some stored can make that easier. And if you’re planning a caesarean, it can be handy
