The Youha Colostrum Collector is a set of reusable silicone collectors made for gathering and storing colostrum, whether you're collecting antenatally in the lead-up to birth or in the early days afterwards. Made from 100% medical-grade silicone, each soft, squeezable collector uses a gentle vacuum effect to draw up the small droplets of colostrum you express by hand, so you can collect, store and feed from the same container.
Colostrum comes in tiny amounts, and this collector is designed around that reality — the squeezable body creates suction to lift each droplet, and the nib can be removed for direct collection when that suits you better. The silicone is free from BPA, PVC and phthalates, so there's no worry about harmful chemicals coming into contact with your milk.
How it works
- Squeeze-and-release vacuum: Pressing the soft silicone body and letting go creates a gentle vacuum that draws up droplets of hand-expressed colostrum.
- Removable nib: The nib can be taken off for direct collection, giving you a second way to gather colostrum depending on what feels easiest.
- One container, three jobs: The same collector is designed to collect, store and feed from, so colostrum doesn't need to be transferred between containers.
Everyday practicality
The collectors are described as leakproof and portable, which makes them practical to keep with you rather than tied to one spot at home. They're built to handle both heating and freezing, so they fit into your storage routine, and the medical-grade silicone is reusable rather than single-use. The set arrives with a cleaning brush, reusable labels for tracking your collection, and a storage box to keep everything together, so you have what you need to get started and stay organised. Youha recommends replacing the collectors every six months.
Best For
The Youha Colostrum Collector is a great option for parents who:
- Want a reusable collector for hand-expressed colostrum, antenatally or after birth
- Prefer to collect, store and feed from a single container
- Like the flexibility of both a squeeze-vacuum action and a removable nib for direct collection
It may not be the best fit if you:
- Are looking for a device that actively pumps or expresses milk for you
- Prefer single-use sterile syringes over a reusable collector
Disclaimer
Antenatal colostrum collection is optional and is not a measure of your milk supply or how breastfeeding will go — collecting little or nothing is normal. If you're considering collecting before birth, please follow the guidance and clearance of your own maternity team on when and how to start, as advice varies from person to person. For any concerns about feeding, supply or your baby's intake, speak to a qualified healthcare provider.
