can hubby help produce milk?

Question

Sorry if it's tmi
I am worried my milk won't come in 
I read that husbands can help toward the end of pregnancy to "get it going " by sucking on them.
You think this is true ? 
Have you or anyone else done that?

Answer

Milk production gets triggered with the detachment of the placenta

Answer

You don't want milk to come in before baby is born. colostrum is the best thing for your baby those first couple days, and it comes before the milk comes in, right around, after birth. That is the true liquid gold and you don't want to waste it.

Answer

Hehehe...   not sure if it will actually help in the sense that you think it will.  But be warned:  nipple stimulation is a way tonnaturally induce labor.
 
Your milk WILL come in.  Unless you have a premie in which everything is earlier, your colostrum milk comes in first, then transitions into full on breast milk within about a weeks time AFTER birth.
 
While some women leak early, this is not exactly the norm.  Not odd, but also not something that HAS to happen.  
 
Also keep in mind that when your baby is born, their stomach is SUPER tiny (marble size... no joke), so they really do not need that much.  Your body should produce enough for your baby if you start off Breastfeeding exclusively right away.
 
Also keep in mind that baby drains your supply better than a pump (which in turn encourages your body to supply more).  If you need to pump, then do so, but you may need to hand express or even breastfeed afterwards to encourage more milk (IF that is an issue for you).
 
I am also a first time mom who worries about this.  There isn't too much we can do before the baby is here.  My biggest advice is to speak with the hospital or birthing centers lactation consultant.  Ask as many questions as you can and request their assistance in establishing a great latch.
 
Even afterwards, when you go back to your doctor, ask for assistance if you feel your baby is not latching correctly (so if Breastfeeding hurts, or you feel baby is always hungry even after you feed).  They WILL help you.
 
(Hugs). You got this.
