I dont know but i'm 19 weeks and my bobos have definitely got something in them cuz ive already grown nearly a whole cup size. I was a 36d before I got pregnant and now im a 36dd. If things keep going like this i'm gonna be a cow by the time my baby comes in may. :( my bf loves it but like I tell him, he doesnt have to carry them around. :lol:

Yep they get milk in them automatically whether you breastfeed or not. At first its just colostrum, a thick sticky substance. It will probably start leaking a little before your baby is even born. Then about 3 days after giving birth, your milk will come in. Your boobs will grow a whole cup size in aboug 2 days! Its crazy.

I am 35 weeks and you might think this is sick but if I sqeeze my nipples I can squirt some liquid out... Lol its not milk because its clear... But it amuses me... I have my own little squirt guns attached to my chest...

Lilangel- thats just part of ur colostrum... It will become more of a thick yellowish substance...

Milk doesnt actually come in until the baby is a couple of days old... Whether you breastfeed or not. However, if you choose not to breastfeed, your milk will dry up faster.

Actually you can have milk come in sooner....But most of the time it's afterwards....And sometimes ppl don't even get the milk in.....

I was one who wasn't able to breastfeed due to the lack of milk I had come in after my son was born. I tried and tried to breast feed, but nothing. And when it was just too mucha nd frustrating for my son and i, I gave up. I then tried to breast pump....Which also didn't work...Come to find out, I didn't have a single thing in me...But little drops....And that's with no matter how much I pumped....Just drops!! Not near enough to feed my son!!

Yeah... But its more uncommon for the milk to come in beforehand...

Its unfortunate that some women who really want to breastfeed arent able to.

and you don't want it to. Its important that your baby gets as much of the colostrum as possible immediately after birth.

Thanks guys, much helpfull. So the doctors dont have to do anything to activate it? I told my doctor I wasnt gunna breastfeed, but if I change my mind, I can just put the baby up there, and it will drink? Or would I have to tell someone ahead of time so they can do whatever to make it come out? I have really sensitive nipples and even when I touch with soap in the shower they get all crazy tingley and I cant take it. Thats why I dont wanna breastfeed.

Ok this might sound weird but...What if your boyfriend is sucking on your boobs while your messing around, milk will come out?! Thats gross in my mind. Should that be a forbidden area?

And how long do you keep your milk? Like when the babys 1, will it be gone?

Sorry, I have alot of questions about milk :)
im really serious too, I dont know this stuff...

I think it'd be fine if your boyfriend did.
I think I read somewhere bout it..And it said it was fine..And it wouldn't take away from the baby.

And I think it goes away around a year..Not sure. I'm not sureeeeeee i'm a virgin...I've never experienced that stuff :lol:

It will hurt for about 2 weeks. It will hurt bad! But after about 2 weeks, the pain will go away. Your milk stays until you stop feeding. As long as your baby is drinking, your breasts will continue to make more milk. The nurses don't have to do anything... Just put your baby to your breast, and he will naturally open up! Sometimes you have to teach the baby to latch properly, but most of the time, the problem is that the baby doesn't open up wide enough and get enough of your areola in its mouth. To fix this, you can squeeze your areola a little and put your nipple in baby's mouth yourself, to ensure that he or she gets enough in his or her mouth.

Yes, milk will come out if you let bf suck! Probably even if he just licks or touches you! Your boobs will leak the whole time, and sometimes they leak just because you think about your baby, or milk or something.

Wow erin, I usually always come up with more to ask, there usually the same questions I asked before just phrased differant cause I didnt understand the first answer I got, but you answered all my questions. Thanks.

:.D no problem!

Hey erin? How's tru?

Yeah... The colostrum is important as it has the antibodies etc that your baby needs to start the foundation for his/her immune system...
