Since I've been pregnant my milk supply has gone down a lot. But DD is still having 3-4 feeds a day and I haven't noticed any change in her, she still loves BF and I don't think she'll be giving it up any time soon.
In the past couple of weeks I was thinking she might be teething or have an upset tummy or something because her nappies have been a bit gross. Then something someone else said made me remember that this can happen when you get colostrum. So I tried to squeeze some out and clear liquid came out. I can get some out any time, even after a long (20min) feed! Since becoming pregnant I've barely been able to squeeze out a drop when I've tried to check and see how much is there. So there must be a fair bit of colostrum there.
When DD was born I remember the colostrum being thick and yellowy stuff. So I was just wondering what the difference is between that and this clear stuff before the baby is born?? I assume it's still good for DD but it just seems like water! Was curious as to what's actually in it and what she's getting out of it if anyone knows????
