3rd Trimester

Nipple question

So I didn't think I had had any leakage however my nipple were itchy and looked cracked and white-ish. However today they were so itchy I decided to try lanolin, and when I put it on dried yellow bits came flaking off. Is this dried milk? Could I have been leaking but never felt any wetness?

  • Could be a little bit of colostrum

  • Yes, it sounds like colostrom. I have been experiencing the same. The amount coming out really is almost unnoticeable. I just go braless a lot so I feel it.

    I also think it's colostrum. I've never noticed anything wet (on my nipples or in my bra/shirts), but at the end of the day, I have dried white flaky stuff on my nipples.

  • Colostrum. Milk won't show up until your LO is here.
