Breasts Question..

Okay so Im 38 weeks today. I was wondering if my Husband sucking on my breasts and getting the colostrum milk is bad? Will it make me not have milk for baby?

Your milk comes in when a signal to your brain says your given birth. Not right away about 2-3 days. So leaking or expressing colostium before you give birth is fine, you won't have less for your baby :) for people under 37 weeks are advised to be careful as nipple stimulation can cause pre term labor so if you start feeling cramps or tightenings then stop and contact your doc or Midwife.

You are very lucky. My hubby is very involved but I doubt that he is going to want to mess with my nipples towards the end of my pregnancy lol. Good luck hopefully when the time comes you have a very easy birth

Lol I have never heard of a guy liking it. Yeah its a form of nipple stimulation and it is helping you prepare to breastfees so it sounds like you guys are both getting good deals lol

No its not bad. It may help make your milk come in sooner. It may have a funny yaste I would think but ots definitely full of nutrients
