I don't know why it starred out that word but it's when your baby suckles

I.leaked closer to the end of my pregnancy but only a little bit one time. When your baby comes and ***** that is what stimulates the let down of milk. Don't worry or take anything. Stimulating and rubbing your nips is good to prepare them for feeding your baby to get them prepared so it doesn't hurt as much.  But you should try to produce your milk before your baby comes. You will have no release it will be painful for you. Just be patient and wait for your baby

Oh yes it's completely normal lol and it doesn't mean that your supply won't be enough either! Just like breast size and things like that, none of it matters. You won't know until after baby and milk come and you've really tried to build a supply :) don't worry about it. And definitely see if your hospital/dr has a lactation consultant and meet them before you have baby that way if you don't like her,you can find a new one. My boobs leaked from like 6w on then my right one just stopped lol it's not a big deal trust me

No you are not supposed to take that until after you give birth. A lot of women don't leak colostrum and your real milk won't come in until a few days after baby is born anyways. Don't worry about it yet. And don't get frustrated or think you're starving your baby because the first few days while waiting for your milk, baby's stomach is only the size of the cherry and colostrum is plenty. Extra sucking is for comfort
Good luck mamma

Agreed. I haven't taken anything and breastfed for 14 months. I never leaked or anything. What most women don't get is when your milk comes in its all supply and demand and when that doesn't work then take stuff.

Why are you trying to make your milk come? Just asking. Most women don't leak. I didn't with my first, but after I gave birth, I had no problem with milk supply, i breast fed for 9 months. So just let it come naturally.
