What is Colostrum?
Normally in the last few weeks of pregnancy, a few drops or a small amount of colostrum will flow out from the mother's nipples. The colostrum is rich in nutrients, high in protein and low in fat, it is easily absorbed by the newborn. Preparing to collect it in advance has great benefit for your baby.
The Haakaa Silicone Colostrum Collector is a world-first design, giving moms the option to express colostrum antenatally and postnatally in a safe, easy-to-use storage solution. Colostrum is traditionally collected in single-use syringes often made from harmful plastics. This collector is made of 100% medical grade silicone, which means it won't leach nasty toxins and can be safely stored in the fridge or freezer. It's easy-to-use and reuse, making it the ideal option for moms both before and after birth!
This Silicone Colostrum Collector Set comes with 6 x Colostrum Collectors (4ml) and a complimentary cotton wipe, together in a clear storage case.
Please note: Ensure clearance from your health professional prior to antenatal expressing as there may be a risk of early labour.
Care Instructions: Clean each colostrum collector before use with hot steam or by boiling in water for 2-3 minutes. Store products in a cool, dry place and avoid direct sunlight. Use all the colostrum in the container for one feed and discard any left over.
