Mother's Milk Tea before birth?

Question

So I'm planning to breast feed, and even though I've had a pretty good flow of colostrum while pregnant thus far, I'm getting a little worried about that first good latch and feeding at the hospital. I'm scheduled for an induction, and wondering if it is helpful/safe to drink mother's milk tea the day of labor to boost my supply before baby is born? Ftm, sorry if this is a ridiculous question!

Answer

Kellianna is right. Doing things now while pregnant will not increase your milk supply. Your milk won't come in until after baby is born and even then it won't be a lot. It will increase as demand increases - the more baby needs the more your body will produce and this can fluctuate. My son would go through growth spurts and it seemed like I didn't have enough but then by the next day I'd be producing more. He's go through a lul and my milk would back off. Our bodies are an amazing thing! My milk took two days before it came in and longer for it to be a lot. Don't stress it tho. There are ways to increase supply after baby is born if baby isn't getting enough but just remember for the first few days and weeks baby really doesn't need much. Babies tummies are the size of a marble a few days after birth and they only need a spoonful of colostrum. Then it stretches to a ping pong ball and then an egg but that takes a while. 
Just stay hydrated and eat a good diet.

I'm a FTM as well and being induced Thursday but I don't think it'll work sadly since what triggers your milk production is the delivery of the placenta...so even if you did drink it i don't think it'd help since you need the signal and hormone release from the delivery of the placenta.😞would be awesome if it did, though!
