Leaking and breastfeeding?

Question

I am 34 weeks and this is my second pregnancy. With my first my breasts were leaking a lot earlier. I have yet to have any leakage this time around and am worried if this is going to affect my milk coming in. I already had problems with milk supply with my first, i wanted to try harder this time, breastfeed longer than 3 months, but i am getting really worried.

Answer

I leaked at 16 weeks up until I gave birth with my first and one time out of one breast with my second. I wasn't able to produce enough for my first and supplemented with formula. My second baby is 8 weeks old and I'm producing way more than she needs and have a huge frozen stash! Leakage during pregnancy does not indicate whether or not you'll be able to breast feed.

Answer

I leaked all the time with my first, very early on...had a very low supply and dried up at 6 weeks. No leaking with my second and zero supply issues. Currently 10 weeks old and EBF. :)

Answer

I had my daughter at 34 weeks and didn't leak at all. She's now 2months old and my supply is pretty good. I started to pump the day after she was born and got colostrum the first try with no problems. I'm a FTM.
