5ml Colostrum Collector – Silicone Breast Milk Collection Device | For Newborn Feeding, Medicine Administration, and Colostrum Harvesting | BPA-Free & Reusable

Description

The 5ml Colostrum Collector is a medical-grade, soft silicone device designed for the safe collection, storage, and feeding of colostrum, expressed breast milk, or liquid medication to newborns. This small-volume collector is specifically intended for use during the first days after birth when colostrum production is limited but nutritionally critical.

The collector features a soft silicone bulb and a graduated 5ml capacity with clear volume markings for precise measurement. Its compact design allows caregivers to collect colostrum directly from the breast, store it safely, and then feed it directly to the newborn — all with a single device, minimizing milk transfer loss and reducing cross-contamination risk.

Unlike rigid syringes or medicine cups, the soft silicone material is gentle against the newborn’s mouth and allows for controlled, baby-paced feeding. The device is also suitable for administering small doses of liquid oral medication to infants.
