lactating at 5 1/2 weeks?

Question

I have noticed that every once in a while I will have wet spots on my shirt. Is it possible to lactate this early? I never experienced this with my first pregnancy and I unfortunately did not produce enough milk to breastfeed her after she was born. Anyone experience this?

Answer

Yep possible. I did this and when I had my son I was a COW. Expect a 3 cup size jump in breasts haha. I pumped 350ml each feed, I didn't pump all the time and pump isn't as effective as a baby sucking, but I had tonnes. Take advantage of it and pump milk after the birth for the freezer as your baby starts out drinking so little. I've got colostrum again already this time, so it's going to be on again!
