No leaking yet? Will I be able to BF??

Question

I'm currently 35w3d pregnant with my second child. With my son I began leaking around 30 weeks, but this time around I have only noticed the tiniest bit of colostrum TWICE! Should I be worried? Does this hold any bearing on what my BF experience will be like?

Answer

No, I never leaked while pregnant and am still breastfeeding my 10 month old.

Answer

I never leaked while pregnant. In fact, it took me a while to produce milk. The lactation staff at the hospital worked with me to help get me started. I was kinda frustrated with the staff and breastfeeding at first, and we ended up supplementing with formula in the hospital. Once I was in the comfort of my own home, we figured it out! Now I exclusively breastfeed.

Answer

No. 
After birth, hormones will get released, and milk production will start. Not before that. It can be more or it can be less than the first time. It all depends on how much your baby is asking. 
And even if it will be less in volume, it doesnt mean it is less in quality and nutricion.

I personally never had a lot of milk (100-150cc per feeding max) but still managed to feed my baby exclusively until 6 months up until 1,5 yrs.

Answer

I didn't leak until my second pregnancy.
