yea not all women leak colostrum so if u haven't ure fine.. It'll come as soon as u give birth, if ure planning on breastfeeding be prepared cz its not easy but its the best thing u could ever give your baby for his/her health. It's a bonding experience for ure baby n ureself but if ure 100% dedicated u will succeed at it. Wish you n ure baby the best.

Oh well I've tried squeezing them but that doesn't do much. A couple of days ago I had like yellow hard crusty things on my nipples. I dont know what that was but then nothing.

No.   not everyone leaks their colostrum.   it doesn't mean your milk suply is better or worse than anyone else's.   your body makes the exact amount your baby needs x
