Do all boobs leak?

Question

FTM so I don't know but do all our boobs leak in the 33 + week? I'm asking because mine haven't and I'm upset because what if I don't/can't produce milk. Breastfeeding is something that I really want to do.

Answer

The 'leaking' before birth is colostrum not milk. I can start any time during pregnancy, sometimes not even till labour/birth. It's all completely normal and is no sign of your ability to breast feed you don't actually start producing milk until a few days after birth. Don't worry about it 😊

Answer

Not everyone does.  My sister never did and she gave birth Monday and her boobs are so full of milk now that the baby has come they literally look like melons lol

Answer

With my 2nd, my husband found out at around 27 weeks that squeezing the girls could shoot milk across the room!

Answer

It all differs person to person I started leaking around 17 weeks and I'm a ftm my older sister who is three behind me never leaked with all four of her babies but with this one she started to leak.

Answer

Milk doesn't come in until at least several days after birth.

Answer

I didn't leak at all with my first 2 pregnancies. I haven't started with this pregnancy either. Both of my babies were breastfed past a year old. We had no issues with nursing.

Answer

35+5 and not leaking. I don't think that has anything to do with being able to breastfeed.

Answer

I've had three babies, never once leaked, all babies breastfed with zero issues 😊
