Colostrum ?

Question

I’m so jealous of those who already have milk stored before the baby arrives!
I don’t have any milk
If I squeeze my nipple a very very tiny drop comes every 4 days! But that’s it! 
I feel I might have trouble feeding my baby! 😩

Answer

You will have milk for your baby. Not everyone produces early. I never did and didn't have a problem with milk. Once you have your baby your milk will come in. No worries.

Answer

It’s not indication of the amount you will produce. Your milk comes in after baby. A very very very small percent of women (like 1%) are unable to produce enough. Just feed on demand, lots of skin to skin and stay hydrated.

Answer

I’ve had 4 babies and never pumped before giving birth, nor have I leaked before giving birth. I had oversupply with the last 3, didn’t nurse my 1st. Believe me, you’ll be fine. It takes 3-5 days for your milk to come in after giving birth. Kellymom.com is a great resource to get more information on this.

Answer

I noticed my nipples were crusty today so I cleaned them with a warm rag and now they won’t stop leaking. FTM so I got really excited.

Answer

I exclusively breastfed 4 kids. I only had colostrum come out before birth with one of them (3rd). It really is no indication that you won't be able to breastfeed.
