Some have nothing, some have drops, and some can get a couple ozs... My friend never leaked w her 1st born, even after he was born and breastfeeding (she was able to ebf no problem, if that is a concern)... I leaked drops of colostrum my first one, and this time (2nd), if I hand express a decent amount could be collected. I only hand expressed due to feeling like I had a clogged duct and needing relief. (Which after the clog got out sheesh I was surprised by the amount that came out). Being one who has dealt w oversupply issues last pregnancy I do not want to increase the odds of it again this time if I can help it, so I am holding off on pumping unless replacing feeds or doing hand expression for relief. After the baby is born, I will collect those to store for when needed and going back to work...
I started to collect at 36 weeks . . Hand compression worked best for me but even then I could only get anywhere between 1-4ml a day , most I’ve got in one go was 6mls. This is my 1st baby so I’m happy I was atleast able to collect a little before she’s here
I have nothing coming out :( wanted to know if that’s normal
