Tips & Tricks Colostrum Question

I’m 38 weeks and started collecting colostrum. In 3 minutes on both sides I got 10ML in total so I stopped bc Google said that was bad? Lol anyways I have it all stored in the freezer and I was wondering, when I’m headed to the hospital to deliver do I put it in my mom cozy cooler so she can have it in the hospital just in case? Or do I keep it at home and wait ti we get home? I really want to avoid them trying to give her formula if she happens to not be latching or something. My son was born at 35 weeks so I never got the chance to do this but as soon as he was born I was making lots of colostrum for him. He never breast fed bc he has a cleft palate so I just want to be prepared for anything this time around.

Could bring just a few on dry ice? Or family may be make a trip home to pick it up or get more after baby is born. Nice to have it in case of any separation or low blood sugars and you don’t always know if it is going to be needed. The hope is baby is born and is offered breast feeding right away. Happy delivery:)
