In the two cases I have come across, the babies were not feed right
away. One baby was NPO for 3 weeks before they started feeds.

If this will be the case with your mom, it would give the mom a
jumpstart in collecting milk.

The mom may also want to invesigate in having some donor milk available
in the event that they feed the baby right away since she may find
herself struggling with pumping those first couple of days. Especially
since she will have a C-Sec.

Please keep us informed about how things go. I wish I could give you
more information but with the two cases I came across, I lost contact
with the moms beyond the initial 1st meeting then later when one mom
renewed her rental.

My question about this situation would be, once they begin feeding the
baby, is it best to give the frozen colostrum or fresh breastmilk which
will have a higher immune content?
