colostrum

So i leak every now and then which i know is a good sign but if i squeeze my nipples nothing comes out. It only comes out every now and then whenever it wants to. Will i still be able to breast feed my baby? I know they get colostrum the first few days im just scared it might not come out

Trying to manually squeeze colostrum out and having baby actually latched on is completely different. I breastfed for 14 months and even then I could get some out when I would squeeze but notable whole lot just a drop or so. Your fine. And during pregnancy I didn't leak at all.

Your milk will come in 3-4 days after u deliver. But your colostrum should be enough for baby until then .
