When did your boobs start leaking?

Question

I am a FTM whose 22 weeks, and I am curious to know when your breast milk starts to come in. How far along were you guys when u first noticed any leakage? Or did u ever have any? My boobs have been tender but I haven't noticed any milk come in yet.

Answer

I didn't wait till they came out , after a warm shower just stimulate your boobs or massage them .. That helps with the milk ducts to open and start releasing colostrum

Answer

Mine don't leak on their own but my Doula came by and we squeezed them (checking for inverted nipples etc regarding breast-feeding) and colostrum came out! It was crazy 🙈

Answer

Mine didn't leak at all with my first or this time around. 
Everybody is different.
I know someone who could pump a whole ounce of colostrum the week before she gave birth! (She was trying to encourage labor by pumping)

Answer

I started leaking colostrum at 23 weeks. Some women don't leak until late pregnancy, others don't leak at all. Don't worry of you don't. It doesn't mean you won't be able to breastfeed.
