Leaking colostrum and milk supply

Hi, some people do seem to think that if you leak lots during pregnancy then you will have lots of milk afterwards, I leaked colostrum both pregnancies and have had over supply issues both times after baby has arrived as well but plenty of women don't leak at all during pregnancy and still have tons of milk once baby arrives. Don't worry you will have colostrum and milk, your hormones will do exactly what they need to. The colostrum will be there right away for baby and you may find that if you gave your boobies a squeeze it's already there just that you aren't leaking it. Milk comes in 2-5 days later, depends on a few things, having a c/s can delay it considerably but it still comes in. I had a c/s with my first and no milk till day 5 but then tons once it arrived, with 2nd baby i had a vaginal birth and it came in on day 3.

Ditto :-) , to all of it

This is a good question!! i have wondered the same thing for 5 years! and never got around to asking!!!

My colostrum didnt come in until baby was born (or i just wasnt able to express it!!!??) and i had major feeding issues both times!! ..

I have another question about BF so i might go post it as not to threadjack

I also never had leaking and have a great supply All the best!
