Question for Bfing ladies

JLB0017 · March 2009

I have been hearing alot about women leaking during pregnancy, I did not leak during my first pregnancy and so far in this one I have not seem anything either.

With my first we had a hard time BF b/c my DD was tongue tied so I pumped but my milk never really came in and the DR blamed it on the fact that i was not putting her to the breast from the beginning.

Now I am worried that it actually was me that could not produce Milk not the actual process itself... So my question is did any one NOT leak during pregnany and their milk supply come in just fine. I amworried since I am not seeing anything during pregnant that my milk will come in slower or not at all. ease my fear please.

Don't worry...I never leaked during pregnancy with ds and my milk came in fine.

I never leaked and actually have a hormone condition that makes me low in prolactin (the milk producing hormone). I had my milk come in on day 4 and BF for 14 months no problem.

I never leaked and I have more than enough milk! I drank a TON of water after I gave birth and my milk came in about 48hrs after my son was born.

I did not leak at all when I was pg. I didn't start leaking until my milk came in on... day 4 or 5 I think. I leaked for the first 4 months and haven't since. DD was exclusively breastfed, never got formula, and is still nursing now.
