I received this question from one of our peer counselors, I feel that she 
handled it well but I would love to hear your responses. One of he clients told 
her that her friend is 36 wks gestation and since she has been leaking she is 
pumping and saving her milk for when her baby gets sick in the future she will 
have this colostrum stored.
The peer counselor responded by telling her that she will be bringing in a full 
milk supply and robbing her newborn of the nutrients that her colostrum would 
bring. 
To be honest with you, I really don't have a good answer other than she is at 
risk for delivering prematurely. I suppose this would also be the same as a 
woman that is tandem nursing a toddler during her pregnancy and then 
delivers a  newborn. I look forward to your response. This is out of my 
expertise and I've been around long enough to know if you have the question 
once it will come back again.
Thank you for your help, I appreciate being able to learn from you. If I can get 
all of the paper work done I am finally going to try to write for the IBCLC this 
summer. Wish me luck!
