ok so question for all the preggo momma's when did you lovely ladies start producing milk or leaking milk if you did?? im just curious.. my ildest son is 7 so i dont really remember the exact time i started leaking breastmilk but i know that by this time in my pregnancy with him i was leaking milk.. he was only breastfed for 6 weeks and i had to supplement with formula because i wasnt producing enough milk to adequately feed him and then at 6 weeks my milk completely dried up and was completely gone.. this time i dont feel like im producing milk at all.. im not able to breastfeed at all this time anyway but i feel like i should of been producing or leaking some milk by now.. sorry for the super long post....just wanted to kinda explain a little.. thanks in advance for the feedback!! 😘
I am pregnant with my 4th and I have never leaked anything until after my kids were born and the doctor said its normal
@bentleysmomma, i know its colostrum that leaks and i know not everyone leaks and that every pregnancy is different for every person but since i leaked with my first son ive been expecting it to happen so i was just curious about other moms and if they leaked when did it start..and im not stressed about it at all because i cant breastfeed at all this time anyways so it doesnt really matter
Many don't leak any colostrum until baby is born. Your real milk comes in about 3-4 days after birth.
I never leaked while pregnant or after my son was born. While I was in the hospital I asked a LC if he was getting anything cause I couldn't see anything, she showed me how to hand express and I saw I did have colostrum but I don't know when my milk came in he was always on my breast so I wasn't worried. I didn't start pumping until 4 months when I went to work and never noticed a dip in supply. He just stopped at 19.5 months he's 21 months now.
