Colstrum and breast milk production?

[AuziNikol]

Does colostrum (idk if I got that right) have any meaning when it comes to breast milk production? I'm 30 weeks almost 31 and have not had any colostrum leakage. Does this mean i won't produce milk or won't produce a lot? Is there any connection at all? Ik breast milk comes within the first week or two after birth but I've seen so many people post about producing colostrum while they are in the 20-30 week range.

Nope. Some women just don't have any leakage before baby. I worried too because my friend who was pregnant at the same time as me told me her breasts would leak all the time. Mine never did until after I had my daughter. I breastfed for 9 months with no problems. :)

The massaging thing worked, I feel like it's weird how excited I got about it but a few people ik who had kids around 20 couldn't produce milk so I'm just super nervous about it, I don't want to formula feed (nothing wrong with it) Ig I'm just afraid of being inadequate as a mother

Colostrum is impt for the baby to take in. But has nothing to do woth milk production. The more you feed and pump the first mth will set the bar for how much your produce.

If you want to know if you have it.. Massage your boobs and work your way to the areola then squeeze the outside of your areola up to your nipple.

It has absolutely nothing to do with it & you will make plenty for your baby when it's time ;)

Not that I am aware of. You may have it, but just not be leaking (which is normal). And I don't believe that has anything to do with how much milk you may or may not produce.
