Breast Milk..?

I'm 16 and 8 months pregnant. I was wonder what breast milk is made out of..? I tried google-ing it from my phone but it doesn't seem to let me look up that sort of question.

Yep my.mamma taught.me the same thing, she also taught me to be tactful :) I got.pregnant at a young age, I was 17 and about to get married had a job moved put with my fiance so I just though I was IT and I knew it all. I breastfed for two months and lost my milk supply :( got pregnant a few months after he was born and both my boys ages 2&1 are happy healthy babies :) I am having my third in a few days and about to be 21. I believe if you set your.mind to it and take responsibility then any mamma at any age can raise a happy healthy baby :) congratulations girl!

@ mrssandefur, thank you for that. I appreciate it. I would've said something to baby4bride, but my mom taught me that if I didn't have anything nice to say, not to say anything at all. I may be 16, but that doesn't give you the right to assume I'm stupid. I made a stupid decision by having unprotected sex, BUT I'm taking responsiblity for my actions and will raise a wonder baby boy. (:

Its nutrients and.vitamins from.our body, its something that happens naturally during pregnancy, its hard to really explain from a normal person Haha really only medical explinations and IDK about you but I couldn't understand that for the life of me! Its natures way of making sure.our lil babe is full happy and healthy :) its the best thing for baby 9 times outta 10 very rarely can babies NOT have mothers milk.
baby4bride....very rude just saying, for FTM or young moms ESP it isn't a stupid question no need to laugh or say things like "duh" as if someone is stupid.

It's made from ur bodies natural vitamins, antibodies,  ect. Its very important to stay hydrated while breast feeding (if u plan to) since it has a lot of water as well

Breast milk is milk. Not like the one we buy From the shop and have on cereal or in our tea.  Our bodies produce milk when we are pregnant its the most natural way of feeding our little ones. Of course its up to you weather or not you decide to breastfeed me personally I am going to breastfeed if I can do. Its not as easy as it looks. Our bodies produce enough milk supply for our babies to have a full feed and when they are full they come away from the breast. You should ask your midwife any questions you have about pregnancy as she should be more than happy to help you with any questions relating to breast milk
