Which Mothers?

Sometimes it is helpful for mothers to stimulate milk production prenatally.  These mothers may have risk factors for low milk supply. These mothers include, but are not limited to, mothers with: Breast hypoplasia, PCOS, history of any breast surgery, history of low milk supply, mothers of multiples, and more.   Many mothers who undergo having a cesarian section may have more confidence in having their milk available to give to their babies if they are occupied in surgery.

Which Babies? 

Many babies with known risk factors in utero may warrant milk collection prenatally.  These babies may have difficulties after your delivery.   Having your milk available gives you confidence to be able to have milk for them.  These babies include but are not limited to babies with IUGR, congenital conditions, strong family history of dairy intolerance, or cleft lip or cleft palate.  Sometimes mothers with diabetes may also be able to give their babies their collected colostrum if their baby has low blood sugar levels.
