Hi everyone,
I met a woman last evening at our feeding your baby prenatal class who has 
been an insulin dependant diabetic since childhood and due to have her first 
baby in March. She is well controlled with an insulin pump and has the full 
support and encouragement of her doctor to breastfeed. I am looking for some 
resources and information to give her about what to expect and I am looking 
for some tips to make her experience as successful as possible. Some 
resources suggest expressing colostrum prenatally to prevent formula from 
being given. Is this something that is commonly done? 
 This one is a first for me so all advise is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
