I'm in my second trimester, and I'm curious about when my body starts preparing for breastfeeding. When do women typically start producing milk or colostrum during pregnancy? I want to be informed.
It usually starts in the late months, but real milk only comes in 2-3 days after delivery. Instead of worrying about this, make sure to budget for good nursing bras and reusable breast pads, as disposable ones can get expensive.
I was so worried my PCOS would affect my milk supply because I didn't leak at all during pregnancy. But my doctor assured me it was fine, and my milk came in perfectly after delivery. Just be patient with your body.
Actually, your breasts start preparing as early as the second trimester, and some women leak a yellowish fluid called colostrum. My doctor told me that not leaking during pregnancy is also completely normal and doesn't affect your milk supply later.
Haan, pregnancy ke third trimester me thoda leakage ho sakta hai na, usey colostrum bolte hain. Par agar milk nahi bhi aa raha toh tension mat lo, delivery ke baad hi acche se shuru hota hai.
I noticed some leakage around month 8. I asked my lactation consultant at the hospital about it, and she explained that it's just colostrum. You can consult the hospital staff if you want tips on how to prepare for breastfeeding.
Many moms start seeing tiny drops of colostrum in the third trimester, while others don't see anything until after delivery. Both situations are completely normal. Don't try to squeeze your breasts now, just let nature do its work.
