Product description
kit includes: 5 x syringes + caps, 5 x freezable labels, 1 x 30ml No Harm Nipple Balm, full guide to colostrum harvesting for use from 37 weeks pregnant* This kit has been developed by our midwives so you can harvest colostrum from 37 weeks of pregnancy. Colostrum is the breast milk that your baby receives for the first few days after birth when you are breastfeeding. Colostrum harvesting and hand expressing are useful skills to learn during pregnancy. Our midwife written guide will support you in 7 simple steps. The midwife developed, intensively moisturising nipple balm provides fast relief and protection for sore and cracked nipples when breastfeeding. This multi award-winning balm is made from natural ingredients, including medical grade lanolin and is a rich but thin serum that glides on easily and doesn’t drag sore nipples. You can also use No Harm Nipple Balm to massage your breasts when harvesting colostrum. *If you have cervical stitch or have been diagnosed with a low lying placenta/placenta praevia please consult with your midwife or doctor before starting colostrum harvesting.
