It could be pregnancy, although I don't think milk this early is hugely common. A friend of mine has a hormonal problem that means she lactates all the time (her kids are teenagers) so it could be something like that maybe?
prolactin problems cause milk if you are not pregnant, maybe get it checked out?
Minniemouse has had this problem if I remember correctly, she might be more help
( hopefully you are utd though!!)
A few years ago I got my prolactin checked because I had some drops. DD was about two. Nothing was found...I am slightly hypothyroidic. Not on medication though. Wonder if it's that??
I will hunt down Minnie!!!
Thanks everyone!!
If anyone else has possible explanations, please feel free to add them!!
i had my son in 2008 and only breastfed for 2 weeks and i still could squeeze milk out just before i got preg with DS2 and then i gave up breastfeeding with DS2 when he was 8 weeks and had it right up until i got pg with this one but even now i can squeeze out to me whats turning into colostrum and im only almost 16 weeks!
I had problems feeding DS2 he would eat every half hour to an hour and i just figured my milk isnt filling him so gave up i obviously had good supply (at 8 weeks i could express 280ml just not filling really)
