A close friend said her boobies were making colostrum at around 16 weeks. I wondered if mine were gearing up to it so I manually expressed, and got a couple of very tiny droplets out of one boobie. I was delighted that one was getting ready to be a producer so early! But I guess I'm also glad that they are not leaking like crazy!
Hints I received from others that might help you too:
-pigeon brand of breast pads (avail priceline and pharmacies) are great
-rewashable cloth breastpads are also great, according to another friend
-wearing one of those comfy singlets with boob support is good for holding pads in place at night.
-a friend recommended satin pjs with flock/flanellette lining for pg and breastfeeding days. So comfy, and lining prevents the sweating normally caused by satin nightwear. Good for winter due dates or cold houses.
Totally agree with lindsaymaree - very resourceful! Both your brain and your boobies are heading towards being a great mum!
