Breastfeeding

No leaking..

When are you supposed to start notice some leakage? I am 37 weeks pregnant and haven't noticed anything.. sometimes i notice some yellowish looking crusty stuff on my nipples (sorry if thats TMI) but other women talk about feel wetness a lot and its starting to make a little worries something is wrong..

Re: No leaking..

  • I didn't leak at all when pregnant with DS1.

  • I didn't leak at all with either pregnancy and it did not have any effect on my supply. I could hand express drops of colostrum. The yellowish stuff you are talking about is colostrum.

    I didn't leak at all with either of my pregnancies. I think it varies between people.

    I never leaked while pregnant, and have only had a few leaks during my 3 weeks pp.

  • I didn't leak in either pregnancy
  • You're probably fine. I didn't leak during pregnancy and still don't leak despite being 5 weeks pp and nursing.
  • thank you all for the reassurance! Breastfeeding is so important to me that I worry about not being able to do it. I really appreciate your input!
  • Lucky!!!  With my kids, I started leaking around 18-19 wks :( I'm pregnant with my 4th and am curious to see if it starts around the same time.
