I also feel sad that I was told by a HV that all of the colostrum I expressed before Boo was born (It was advised to do this as I had had operations to remove lump in my breasts and the scar tissue meant I may have had trouble bfing) was useless and should be thrown away!!

For me I wasn't a good pumper and wouldn't get as much pumping as i did breastfeeding so for you to get 78oz it's absolutely mind blowing to me.

At 16 months, we are still going strong, and we donated 375oz to the National Milk Bank at the same time! I haven't donated since, as I am not pumping much these days, but certainly would again, given the opportunity! Good for you!Lexilooohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06789424491788958854noreply@blogger.com
