Im around 5 months now and just curious when does the milk actually start forming. Sometimes i feel thoda heaviness in my breasts so wondering if its already happening. Anyone know around which month it begins?
Haha, your body is secretly running a milk factory from your second trimester itself! You might see some tiny yellow drops on your bra around the 5th or 6th month, so don't freak out if it happens.
Honestly, I didn't see a single drop until my baby was born, and then suddenly boom, it was a leakage mess! Currently typing this at 3 AM while breastfeeding, it starts forming early but actually comes in after delivery.
After our long IVF journey, I was super sensitive to every small body change. Your body gently starts preparing colostrum in the second trimester, around 16-18 weeks. Sending you so much love and strength.
Wait, really? I am currently 22 weeks and I haven't noticed any leaks or changes yet. Is it normal to not feel anything this early, or does it happen later for some?
I had such terrible vomiting till month 5 that I barely noticed my body changes, but yes, milk formation starts around the second trimester. Just eat whatever healthy food you can digest, your body will do its job.
Colostrum, which is the first thick milk, starts forming around the 16th week of pregnancy. Your actual milk supply will come in a few days after you deliver, once you start nursing your little one.
Actually, body preparation second trimester mein hi start kar deti hai yaar. I noticed some leakage around week 24, which is totally normal. But main milk delivery ke baad hi aata hai.
When I was staying at my mom's place in my second trimester, she noticed my breast size changing and told me colostrum starts forming around 16-20 weeks. Our bodies are so amazing, they start preparing for the baby so early.
Haan, colostrum toh second trimester se hi banna shuru ho jata hai na. But active milk flow baby ke birth ke 2-3 days baad hi start hota hai. So tension bilkul mat lena!
Mere ghar pe saas and mummy kept telling me to eat ghee so milk forms well, but actually the body starts making colostrum on its own by the 5th month. Real milk supply only kicks in 2-3 days after the baby is born.
