TMI warning! breastfeeding daddy?

So my fiance and I are due 4/16/15 putting us at 33 weeks
my breasts started making colostrum about two months ago and it was just a little at first
Well when we wanna get things going in the bedroom, one of my main things has always been nipple stimulation. So he would suck on them and at first he could handle it because it was just a little bit of leakage if he squeezed while he sucked.
Over the past month it has progressed to my breasts making quite a bit of liquid. Its still got a clear/yellowish tint to it but he says when he sucks its a lot. I've seen him spit it out and its just 3 tablespoons at the most that I've seen.
My breasts have been getting full and really heavy so I've been letting him suck on them to get some of it out and make them less heavy.
I'm starting to worry that he's getting all the colostrum and our baby won't have any when she's born, it'll just be milk.
Anybody got any (not negative) feedback?! I know its odd but I'm really needing some feedback.

  • Uhhh, first of all no. Just no. Second of all, I've heard that intentionally releasing colostrum can start contractions and such. So ya might wana stop
  • This title is really gross.
  • Your body will not get the signals to start making milk until the placenta detaches so after the baby is born, even then it takes a few days.  That's all I have to say to this post...
  • Gross... I wish I didn't read that.
  • For the love of all that is holy STOP!!!!!!
    You're going to initiate labor and plus.......
    Just stop.
  • Oh my god.

    Did I just read what I think I just read?
  • I'm well aware this is a disguisting topic to everybody (almost) besides me but believe itor not tthere's more than one person that I've talked to that has the same concern.
  • You may put yourself in labor early. Nipple stimulation is a huge no no.
  • I thought this was going to be a fetish thing like when I watched jerry springer and the guy was asking a girl to vomit on him for sexual pleasure .. Thought I'd get a laugh , now you've just weirded me out. My husband hasn't been anywhere near my boobs since we started this journey ... They aren't for him anymore !!
  • Haha! This is hilarious!
  • It kinda is a fetish thing. Its something that I just can't explain. We made this baby together and this is the way I'm gonna feed our little girl and though most guys are completely grossed out and want nothing to do with breastfeedin, not only does he support it but he wants a part in it. Were a family familys share everything and that he is open to having my breastmilk in his mouth, makes a difference I can't describe
    Also with my first I couldn't breastfeed bc my body didn't make enough milk within the first few days. My daughter was starving so I hadto let them give her a bottle with formula then she WOULD NOT latch onto my breast . His concern is that will happen again and he wants his little girl to be bf so he says he wants to help body make enough milk for her. Honestly, I had no clue it was such a negative thing. I understand the frowning upon it everybody's got their thing some are more sensative to things like this, some can read anything without blinking. But honestly I just wanted some factual feedback about whether or not this could cause me to not have any colostrum left for when she's born.
  • You could always stop reading or hop off
  • My understanding is that you'll keep making colostrum until after you've delivered. Then your hormones change and your milk starts to come in.

    Nope, I'm good.
  • Ummmm. I agree you should prob pop the boob out of your fiances mouth. All I can picture is him on one boob and your daughter on the other...
  • I threw up in my mouth a little.

  • Firstly: ew.
    Secondly: people tandem breastfeed (their young children!) all the time. I'm still nursing my 17 month old and plan continue. As pp said, you will stop producing colostrum a coupl days after the placenta detaches.
    Third: stop nursing your fiancé. 3 tablespoons is a lot. There are many more ways to be intimate and he's not increasing your supply at all. Get a breast pump and got nuts after baby comes but FFS stop nursing your fiancé. His big interest in it is super creepy.
  • Well that was a little disturbing first thing in the morning...
    Plus, if nipple stimulation is what you are into there are ways he could stimulate your nipples without actually sucking on them to the point of getting 'milk' (or whatever it's called at this stage.)

    First of all you will make colostrum up until the placenta is delivered, you cannot run out of it or work through this supply of colostrum, it stays the same until delivery. Your Breast keep making this colostrum until about 2-3 days after delivery. Breast stimulation will just make you increase the current amount you have, if he stopped stimulating- the amount will decrease, if he keeps up the suckling then you will keep increasing volumes. Your volume has only increased because he is stimulating more this late in the game. It is not recommended to stimulate this much in the third trimester, so maybe just try stimulating without actual sucking...hands only if yall must.
    That's my friendly lactation consultant advice.

  • @ericalanier23 thanks!! These kind of answers are whatbi was looking for.
  • Ok, I can't contain myself.

    This whole post gives makes me sick and since you decided to "share" an some majorly intimate, albeit disgusting, information on your goings on in the bedroom, I feel provoked to give my opinion.

    First... Bleh..

    Second... Your milk supply will be just fine without the "assistance" from your fiancé.

    Third... Guah....

    Forth... If you want an opinion, you got plenty of it here. Do not tell a public forum how to respond. If you want a profession opinion, How about asking your doctor? They are at least paid to tell you in a therapeutic manner that you are grossly misinformed about milk supply.

    Fifth... I feel like no matter what any of us say, you are going to dig your heels in and feel like you are justified in this fetish, because that's what it is. You are marrying a man who likes to suck on your nipples to get milk. Sorry but you both deserve each other if you both think this is in anyway correct.

  • Omg so many sassy pregnants as always .. This is why is never use this for support ! Why is everyone so grossed out that your husband is sucking on your nipples ? Sex doesn't stop just because your about to be a mom and if you still have sex drive I say do whatever it takes to keep it going ! Good luck !

    Sorry, where did anyone say that sex stops just because you're a mom?

    What I do not support is a creepy fetish. A fetish that could likely cause preterm labor. A fetish that is completely based off of misinformation. Where in medical books do they say that in order to keep milk supply up, your SO should suck on your breasts?! Seriously where?
