Description

INFORMATION:
Why is it important to express colostrum and what are the benefits?
Colostrum is the first form of breastmilk your baby will drink. It is a thick, sticky, yellowish liquid, high in calories and low in quantity. Colostrum is high in antibodies and antioxidants and is important to build a strong immune system for your baby. Your baby only needs a few milliliters per feed.
Building up a supply of colostrum is useful in case your baby needs extra feeds due to sugar levels dropping or if you are on strong medication and are unable to breastfeed your baby. This will eliminate the need to offer formula, rather offer your baby stored colostrum. It is also handy to have stored colostrum if you know your baby will need special care or if you may be separated from your baby.
Colostrum changes to breastmilk within a couple of days after your baby is born. You only have limited time to express this amazing liquid gold your breasts have produced.
You can express twice per day usually once in the morning and once in the evenings for about 2-3 minutes per breast.
Starting this journey you may express only a few drops of colostrum however this is not an indication of how your supply will be or your ability to breastfeed your baby.
IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER:
• You can start your colostrum expressing journey from 36-37 weeks gestation. You are required to discuss any concerns or risks with your Midwife or Obstetrician.
• You should only hand express colostrum and NEVER use a pump of ANY sort during pregnancy.
• Please seek help and support for further education from an experienced breastfeeding professional or an IBCLC.
• If you experience any sort of contractions or vaginal bleeding, you should STOP expressing immediately and contact your Midwife or Obstetrician.
• Remember that any amount of colostrum will be beneficial to your baby.

LOVE LOVE LOVE our weekly classes at Little Bright Fox. It’s most definitely the highlight of our week, not only do I learn fun activities to stimulate my baby with but as a new Mom you get the opportunity to just breathe and talk about your challenges with fellow Moms who are experiencing exactly the same thing.
Added bonus you leave with a tired bubs ready for a nap

Highly recommend Little Bright Fox! In February, I started at the moms and cubs group for new moms and all I can say is WOW! What an absolutely amazing course! My little man and I were guided through incredible stimulation activities which we continue to work on at home. This helps his growth both physically and mentally. Danielle and Jen are organised, the studio is gorgeous and clean and the experience is all round phenomenal.

If you’re still unsure about joining – just do it! I promise you’ll love it. We all do.

My daughter and I love visiting the Little Bright Fox Mom and Baby Studio and have been attending classes since she was 8 weeks old (she is now 7months). It is such a warm, welcoming environment and it is the highlight of our week to visit the studio for our weekly classes. My daughter has such a fun time and I love learning about the physical and mental stimulation activities that we also practice at home. Thank you Jen and Danielle for providing us with such a fantastic experience. Xxx

Nicole Horne

Such a beautiful environment to meet other mommies and learn new and fun ways to engage with my newborn. I gained confidence and skills to apply with baby’s development. My baby loved the activities that we did. The staff are really friendly and helpful, and willing to offer advice based on their wealth of experience, and they go out of their way to equip parents with as much knowledge as they can to raise healthy happy kiddos.

Movement Matters

Mom and Baby classes are a MUST in the first few months of your child’s life. It’s a great place to learn and more importantly socialise with other mommies! Little Bright Fox 🦊 has a fantastic setup with a community of experts at your disposal. I would really highly recommend this Mom and Baby studio to any new mommy.
