Hello everyone,
I have posted a question on this before but did not really get a good clear 
answer. So, if anyone was has any info on this or resources I would love to 
hear them. I have had a few mothers tell me that they started pumping before 
the baby was born so they would have milk when the baby got here, and were 
successful.My question is, does this milk contain what the newborn needs? 
How would the transition from colostrum to mature milk happen? Would the 
baby still get the same benefits from the colostrum immediatly following 
delivery? Sorry if this is showing my ignorance, but this really puzzles me and I 
have not been able to find any info. Of coarse I understand the risks 
associated with pregnancy here and would never suggesdt this. I have had a 
few nurses ask my opion and I don't have one. Because, if this really does 
work I'm sure more mothers at the end of thre pregnancy 38+ weeks and on 
would love to try this. Not only for the kick start on labor but for the head 
start on milk production. I realize it is necessary for the placenta to deliver to 
open the receptor sites for prolactin... So this is my confusion!

Thank you,
Brandi Thomas, RN,CLC (waiting for Oct.19th)
