Did you know that you can collect your colostrum in pregnancy? Colostrum is the first milk your body makes and is the perfect first food for your baby. Colostrum is full of goodness for your baby which helps to get their immune system off to a good start. You can still collect colostrum to give your baby if you don’t plan to breastfeed. Find out more or visit the expressing and colostrum collection section. 

Your baby’s brain is growing all the time. Talking to your bump, responding to baby’s movements and taking time out to think about your baby helps their brain to grow and helps them to get to know you.
