Why should I pack it in my hospital bag?
Breastfeeding can be a bit tricky at first, and as your body makes the beautiful transition from producing that precious, golden colostrum to a fuller milk supply, every single drop of that early milk is incredibly valuable. Keeping a little bit of colostrum stored away can be a wonderful way to prepare for any challenges that might come up, giving you a reassuring backup to help your baby get all the nutrients they need during those early days.

To take some stress out of the process, we offer free returns & exchanges on all our bras! This way, you can try out any size, style or colour to find what works best for you. Visit our returns and exchanges page to begin the process.

Just ensure all original tags are left on and they're in their original condition. Bras that have obviously been worn for an extended period of time, washed or purposely damaged can be not exchanged or returned. 

If you need to return or exchange simply send it back to us in the same package you received it in, with the below address attached. Ensure your order form has been completed and placed back in with your items. 

Tip: You can post your items back from a post box, however we recommend taking your returns & exchanges to a post office to receive a tracking number.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is colostrum and why is it important?

Colostrum is the first milk produced during pregnancy and is highly concentrated with nutrients. It is crucial for building your baby's immune system and is often referred to as "liquid gold" for its rich, golden colour and benefits.

How do I use the colostrum collectors?

There are a few ways for using the colostrum collectors to attend different needs:
1. Wide collection port: Place the wide collection port directly under your nipple to capture any drops of colostrum that naturally flow.
2. Nipple shield: Attach the shield to your nipple to create light suction, which will help to gently express colostrum.
3. Small nib: Position the small nib directly over the nipple to collect colostrum drop by drop.

At New Beginnings, we have thoughtfully designed a range of feeding accessories with you and your little one's comfort in mind. Explore our full range of baby feeding products here.

How should I store the collected colostrum?

Colostrum can be stored in the fridge for up to three days. After that, it must be moved to a freezer and can be stored for up to three months. Make sure to follow your doctor's or midwife's guidelines for storage and transport.

Are the collectors reusable?

Yes, the collectors are reusable. They are dishwasher and UV sterilisation friendly for easy cleaning and long-term use.

Can I use the colostrum collectors if I plan to bottle feed?

Absolutely! Even if you are planning to bottle feed, collecting colostrum can still be incredibly beneficial. It allows you to give your baby those vital early nutrients and antibodies, ensuring they get the best possible start, no matter how you choose to feed.
