Breast Feeding Question >?
Posted: 01-04-04 18:04pm

Hey guys, hope you can help me with this. I was just wondering when do you start leaking, or when do you get milk in your breast, when are you ready to breast feed? I am now 8 m. Along and all I am having is this clear-yellowish stuff coming out, is this normal ? (sorry this is my first Embarassed ) what can I do to make sure I can have milk? My friend told me to start pumping (with a elec. Breast pump) can I do that?
Please, please write me back, I know sence I read like 3 books about breast feeding that I do not have ingrowing nipples, so everything looks normal Embarassed Smile so far.... :d can you please give me some tips or so? Thank you very much .

The yellowish stuff is colostrum (babys first meal) very high in nutrients.. You do not usually get your milk coming in until after giving birth and the baby eats the colostrum at first. I've been having colostrum leaking since I was like 4-5 months pregnant. It can come at any time and you should not be alarmed by it. Some woman dont get colostrum until they give birth as well.. So do not worry that you don't have milk in yet, it will come when its time. I'm due jan 23rd, wahts your due date? Well good luck withe verything .. Bye Smile

Your milk will come in very soon after the baby is born so do not worry the baby is not born hungry so the colostrum is fine for the first feeding.. Your milk should come in later that day that your baby is born..
