Anyone else getting this much colostrum? My doctor said if I want to stop it use cabbage but I’ve been storing what I hand express so I have it just in case and if i don’t hand express my boobs are rock solid and throb

Question

Answer

I was told not to pump whatsoever so I don’t go into preterm labor. I do leak though, not sure how much!

Answer

Lol I’m the same way. I produce so much colostrum, after I had my daughter I was breastfeeding her and pumping my colostrum because I had so much. The nurses were amazed, I was filling up the little two ounce bottles a couple hours after birth. I went on to have an amazing milk supply and breastfed my daughter for 2 years

Answer

I’m 32 weeks...not leaking at all but I notice little dried crusties that make me think maybe I am leaking a tiny bit and then it is drying? Sorry for the TMI visual of crusty nips lol

Answer

I leak a tiny bit but nothing like this! Way to go mama!

Answer

I get so jealous seeing this. I am trying to breast feed this baby as i didnt make enough milk for my first. Are you doing anything to have so much?? I personally feel so lost for wanting ti breastfeed this time around and want my milk to come in.

Answer

A few weeks ago at 28 weeks or so out of pure curiosity I hand expressed just to see how much I could get because I’ve been so leaky. I got a full 5ml syringe out! I made sure to take it easy so as not to cramp or contract.
