Colostrum?! FTM! What's your experience?

Question

I started leaking little bits of colostrum around 21 weeks and it continued until about 26weeks, but now it's just completely stopped at 32 weeks! Is that normal?? I've heard the amount of colostrum you leak doesn't determine how you will produce milk after birth, but I guess it's just made me super nervous because I'm planning to EBF as long as my body and baby can do so!

Answer

Same thing with me, and I'm just starting to leak again now at 34w3d. I didn't have anything for several weeks, then woke up to a wet shirt after I had a dream about taking my baby on a vacation were planning later this year and having to feed her around my in-laws (who do NOT support public breastfeeding and are gonna really hate me once she's born). 😂

Answer

I never leaked colostrum with either of my pregnancies and I ebf my first for 13 months and I'm still ebf my second who is 8 months in the 16th!  It doesn't determine your supply after birth! Don't worry!
