Readers Respond: What did you do for leaking breasts?

The substance leaking from your breasts is colostrum. It is your breasts preparing to breastfeed. Some women experience a lot of discharge, enough to wear breast pads, while other barely notice anything. The amount has nothing to do with your ability to breastfeed.

After only 1 Week I developed colostrum!

This is my third and I noticed colostrum after on 1 week! This happened with the last one as well however I was about 2 weeks with that one. My body never fails to let me know especially when its too soon to take a pregnancy test :) Perfectly normal

6 weeks

I breast fed my first child til about 8 months and she will be 1 in a few days and am pregnant with baby #2. I'm only about 6 weeks and have some leakage where as with #1 I was closer to 25 weeks before I noticed it. Glad to know this is normal this early.

Leaking

I'm 34 wks and just started leaking from one side. I didn't leak at all with my son. Who's now 5. I wasn't able to produce enough milk with him so does this mean I will be able to with this pregnancy?

Leaking Breasts at Night

Around 3 months into my first pregnancy I found my breasts were leaking a lot at night. One thing I found helped for me was wearing a night bra at night with nursing pads in them. It is very comfortable and it feels dry through the whole night. I had bought my night bra at a maternity store where I had asked the employee what type bra I should wear she had helped me pick a few bras out and then I tried them on to make my final decision.

Breast Leaking

My baby is now 4 months old & if I squeeze the nipple of my breast milk will still come out!!!!

—Guest Kristen

Yes, it can happen in early pregnancy

I found colostrum before I knew I was pregnant, it was around week 3 or 4 then. This is my second baby and I breastfed my first for 18m. After putting this together with the missed period, I didn't need to take the pregnancy test to know I was definitely pregnant!

—Guest Boston_Mom

Yes it happens

My breast began to leak colostrum and it hadn't done that in years my son is 3 and I have colostrum. Sounds like a new baby is on the way!

Early leaking?

Is it possible to leak if your 2 or 3 weeks pregnant? I breastfed my first son, but haven't breastfed in almost a whole year, been cramping and I just feel pregnant..
