breastfeeding

Ok, I know I've postes before about breastfeeding questions, but I recently discovered my nipples starting to leak. I'm 23 weeks pregnant and curious as to what it could mean?

Yay! Thank you. I posted on here about a week ago about breastfeeding and stating my fear of not being able to produce, but this makes me 100x better and in a sense, a little more prepared.

I started leaking at 18 weeks. I'm 23 weeks now.

Yes its a sign your body is preparing to breastfeed. Collostrum is the very first milk your baby gets from you and is extremely beneficial to their health. You should talk to a lactatiom specialist or look up some new mom breastfeeding tips so why you have your baby you know what to expect:)

Is it a sign that my body will produce milk for my baby or is it just normal?
