breast milk!Where is it!!

You worry wart!!!!





Colostrum is in there and you really need to squeeze it in a certain way now or get baby to feed/suck for it to come out..there is only little in there at the moment as well! Dont panic you will have lots and will be able to feed that little Jaxon no problem!!!!!

And on the third day when you have boobs the size of melons you will wonder why you were worried!!!

I wish - I leaked from 28 weeks with Maya and never stopped after I stopped feeding her!

But lots of women don't leak or have any colostrum before bubs is born - don't worry - once you have junior jaws doing his thing he'll soon get it going!

I had nothing at all till Zaara was born. As soon as she came out and MW squeezed my nipples huge amounts came out....so dont worry!!

Yup I don't leak at all (until after the babe is born ) but have had no problems with feeding, and that's with size 12A I couldn't believe that I had nothing the day before, and yet when the baby was hungry, suddenly my body just knew what to do!

I didn't leak at all either, but when I finally got Joshie on the boob after he was born there it was! I worried too though

My boobs have started leaking in the last couple of weeks. Mainly in the evenings, just prior to having my shower. Its clear liquid, looks just like water, forming in droplots on my nipples. Is this normal, and is it the start of milk? (I always thought milk would be white!)

Kelly... I have a negative/positive story for ya. (I'm sure most of the women on here have heard it before!)

I had no colostrum before Han was born and only a very small amount once she was here. She was born at 9lbs 6oz, so quite a big babe and boy was she starving!!!
The first three days were absolute hell, having to put her on the breast even though there was nothing there and make sure she stayed on there for 5 minutes each side. (I'm pretty sure this was to stimulate hormones to make milk come in). I ended up giving her formula top-ups and the lactation consultant was really rude, thinking that I'd go straight to formula once I got home. But to her.

Finally on day 3 my milk came in and woahhhhh... like the other Kelly said - rock hard melons! Anyway, had no probs after that breastfeeding (though it took 2 weeks before I stopped cringing every time that little mouth came towards me) and I continued breastfeeding until 13.5 months.

In short, it's only a few women that have probs breastfeeding... sometimes it's hard but it will happen!
