Breasts are leaking already.

Is it normal for breasts to starts leaking around 6 months? I'll be 24 weeks on Thursday. Last night was the first time it happened. It threw me off. Lol.

Size had very little to do with supply. You make milk as baby su.cks so if your latch is good, your supply should be too. My sister and sis in law both have smallish breasts (b or c) and both have fed each of their children for at least a year.

My friend started leaking at eighteen weeks, and our midwife told her anywhere after sixteen weeks is considered totally normal. BUT don't worry that you won't have a supply if you aren't leaking. I didn't leak a single drop until after my colostrum was gone and my milk finally came in. I ended up with such an overabundance that every time my daughter would pull off to breathe, I'd spray her in the face. For like four to six months. I also had to use breast pads around the clock for a year or I'd soak through my clothes.

I think like 4-5$ is all I paid no more than 5$ though.  There were 6 pads in there so 3 sets of 2

I bought some reusable nursing pads at Wal-Mart.  Which are great because I can just put them in the washer

And yeah, I felt a little wetness, looked down and saw I had leaked through my shirt. Gotta get myself a night time bra and nursing pads now I suppose.
