Diane and all..... My experience has been that the amt. of colostrum is
quite variable.  Moms who are non-nursing and using a double electric
pump, can get a drop or two up to 15cc. in the first day.  Second day,
Mom  may collect between 5cc and 20cc.  On day 3, I would expect to find
her pumping 10cc-30cc at each pumping.  Of course,  the variables are
many; including birth experience, which # baby this is for her,
frequency and duration of pumping, baby's condition and parents' fear
factor, etc., etc.  Often, if a Mom has a delay between birth and
initiation  of pumping, I've noted that the first pumping might be 5
-10cc.  I urge Moms not to expect a similar amt. at the next few
pumpings.  "Pumping, in the early days, is about stimulation of milk
production, not a contest to see how much we can get", I reassure.  I'd
rather a Mom and her suport persons be pleasantly surprised by getting
some, than disappointed by getting none.  JMHO :)
