Not sure - tmi

[Bri_1985]

I think I may be starting to leak colostrum already just because it feels like the nursing bras Im already wear are starting to stick to my nipples. The only problem is Im not feeling anything wet really. Just a tingling sensation thats more prominent to my right breast. Nothings really showing up on my bra either that I can tell. So whats the best way to tell? And if Im not whatelse could it be?

Good luck bri! Try not to supplement until 6wks. There are a ton of ppl to help u out there but if u just can't don't let me body make u feel bad. Formula is just fine!!

Oh boy rofl Why do I get the feeling this is fonna be a wild ride? Lol. I am actually planning on breastfeeding this time - or at least trying. The women in my family have a history of not producing enough milk. My sister eventually had to supplement with formula until she completely ran dry and just could use formula. But everyone says I might be different because my boobs have grown big time where as in my other 3 pregnancies nothing happened til after birth.

Lol!!! If ur gonna breastfeed get used to hurt! Look up handexpressing! I breastfed my other two and will with this one as well. If u can manage the first week or so it stops hurting all together. Make ur ******* tough!! Get ready mama bahahahaha!!!

o.o Squeeze them? Wont that hurt? Lol

[mckee513]

If u want to know if you are give them a squeeze!! Hand expressing is a good way after ur milk comes in to relive the fullness. Trust me the word engorged is describes it perfectly. They get as big as your belly and feel like the skin is streched to max! Learning to hand express now will save you a lot of uncomfortable fullness later!

Tmi = too much information. I use it to give people a heads up that certain body parts will be mentioned that normally arent.
