Q: Breast Leak
asked by: newlife on October 8th, 2004

Okay, ya'll know that my breast have been leaking for a long time now, so its not a big deal. But, last night jon was sucking my left nipple and he told me that he tasted milk (colostrum). Well no he didn't say that, he said he had a mouth full of it. But anyway, are my breasts supposed to be to the point that, if my nipples are sucked to let out so much? Until last night when he did it and little came out now and then, but nothing even close to filling his mouth. Okay so jon says he is not doing it anymore, but he and I both know it won't turn out that way. But what is going on? And, say that he does keep on doing it for the duration of my pregnancy, and it keeps on coming out like last night, what will happen when the baby comes? I know it sounds stupid but with them leaking so heavily and, just pouring out when he sucks them, will there be enough left for the baby? I mean make no mistake it is still absolutely colostrum, it is not full blown milk yet, but still.

Do not let him suck on em anymore... U hafta save that colotrum for baby. If he continues doing that, ur baby might think ur alreadt feeding ur baby n continue to produce heavier and leak more. Wear breastpds n dont let him suck on em anymore.... Just in case.

Yeah! That colostrum is very important for the baby the first day or so after he is born, and if jon keeps sucking your milk is going to come in way too soon and there will be no colostrum left.

This is just terrible. He won't be able to suck them again until I stop breastfeeding huh? Well, it s for the baby, so it is okay.
