Re Phyllis Adamson's query. I had two adoptive Moms pumping in preparation for babies last year. One started 10 weeks before, took it slowly and had colostrom in 5 weeks. The other had only 3 weeks, pumped with double kit x 15 minutes 8 times per day and had the first drops in approx. 10 days. In both cases, plus two previous clients I would say the first drops the mother gets are orange and oily. I think what your client is seeing is the beginning of colostrum and she should be very happy, and proud! -- ******Joan M.
