Bit of an awkward question but my husband asked me this and now im actually curious too haha. Im pregnant and noticing some leaking already, so wondering if its fine or not. Anyone knows?
Well, medically it is safe, but there is no point to it. You need to save every drop of colostrum for your baby, and focus on your prenatal diet instead.
There is no medical harm in it, but honestly, why? It is meant for the baby, and you might only produce a few drops of colostrum during pregnancy anyway, so better to leave it alone.
Oh, I was actually reading about this too out of curiosity! It is not harmful if consumed, but since colostrum is very limited and important for the baby, maybe let's keep it for the little one.
Beta, breast milk is nature's precious gift meant only for the newborn baby's health. It is best to avoid such things and focus on keeping yourself healthy during these months.
It is not toxic or anything, but let's focus on actual health priorities. For example, I had to focus on my thyroid tests every month, so keep your energy on things that actually matter for your baby's health.
