If you like four more Measuring Cups just add in a note when you order and we'll include these at no additional charge.
*These oral syringes are compatible with the global standard ENFIT hospital feeding tubes, so your baby can be given colostrum this way too in case that is needed.
The amount of colostrum produced is very individual. Collect what you get using the three options you have with this kit. Store as per instructions.
Every drop is nutrient-dense, high in antibodies and antioxidants to build your baby's immune system.
Collect expressed colostrum even if it appears to be very little, it matters to your baby. 0.5ml still counts that's why we include tiny 1ml syringes as well as 2.5ml, we also include cups in case you suddenly got lots, or simply find it easier.
- Because many mums find it easier and less colostrum is wasted. You also have the option to express into the little cups.
No added expense with more containers are required for keeping syringes and cups clean and together. A clear clean bag with your name is sufficient.
Store the collected colostrum in the syringes with tip caps, or in the cups with lids attached.
Label and store in the zip lock bag provided, refrigerate up to 24 hours or freeze up to 3 months.

*Read: How do I collect, store and give colostrum?
1. Wash your hands thoroughly.
2. Attach the funnel to one of the oral syringes.
3. Hand express into the funnel and draw the colostrum into the attached syringe.
4. Cap, label with name & date, store in fridge or freezer. (Bring to baby straight away if this is an option)
If you have lots of colostrum and your funnel can't keep up, use the medicine cup to express into, then draw the milk into the oral syringe, cap and label.
Store capped labelled syringes or lidded cups in the supplied zip-lock bag.
Fridge and use colostrum within for 24 hours or freeze for up to 3 months, unless your Lactation Consultant tells you otherwise.
Give at room temperature directly from syringe or cup within 3 hours of expressing.
From Fridge; colostrum can be given straight from the fridge, or can be warmed up using body temperature, or warmed in lukewarm water max 37'C.
From Freezer; defrost colostrum in fridge around 12 hours. Give defrosted or warm using body temperature or lukewarm water max 37'C.
Do not microwave. Discard thawed milk if unused within 24 hours.
You may use the medicine cup with lid for expressing and storing colostrum, then also cup feed baby from it. Or draw milk in to a syringe and give baby.
The ENFit compatible oral tip (OTLD) one piece syringe has a smooth barrel and tip to make giving collected colostrum gentle on the baby.
Important! By drawing the milk into an OTLD syringe you can feed orally and also connect the syringe to a tube if your baby happens to be tube-fed for some reason. "Traditional" slipfit oral syringes, such as pharmacy oral medication syringes, do not connect to feeding tubes. This is because the new global standard is ENFIT fitting for oral feeds. (Global ISO Standard 80369-3)
To clarify: If you are expressing antenatally and there is some chance your baby may be premature or unwell, or you are unwell, get Simple Solutions Colostrum Collector Kit as this set includes the ENFIT compatible style syringes. This gives you the option to give colostrum by mouth and tube.
Express colostrum no matter how little it may appear to be, every drop is truly worth collecting.
