I have frozen colostrum every year, so I have some on reserve, but regardless, I did save what I milked out last night. I'm glad I went out last night, cuz she was getting hard on one side. I don't think it is mastitis, maybe just some congestion. I had a hot rag with some peppermint oil on it that I massaged her udder with last night, then again this morning. I can definitely tell the difference in her udder this morning, so I'm glad I did that. I will keep doing that for a few days.

Otherwise everyone is offing well, all babies are doing great, moms are doing great. Thanks for your advice! I will keep you updated!
