Crusty yellow stuff on nipples?

Question

I just got outta the shower and realized I have some crusty yellow stuff on my nipples. I thought maybe dried colostrum but is it too early? I am 20 weeks with my second. Never leaked with my first son.

Answer

It’s normal . But do not squeeze it out ! It’ll make your body go into early labor thinkin it’s the baby sucking and it’ll begin to make milk ! My doctor has told me this !

Answer

I had the same thing starting at 18-19 weeks. Then at 26 weeks I started leaking

Answer

I had this starting at 12 weeks. No joke. I asked my dr about it and she said that’s for sure what it is. I thought it was way too early but she said it’s within the normal range.

Answer

I’ve been noticing this too but I’m only 14 weeks - is that still possible? I’m not sure if there’s a ‘time’ for it as such I just assumed it would be later on in pregnancy ...

Answer

Not too early. Definitely dried up colostrum

Answer

Answer

Same thing has happened with me and this is my second. Definitely colostrum.
