Hi ladies,
I've been leaking small amounts of colostrum since the second trimester (I'm 38 + 4 now) but I noticed it only comes freely from my right nipple- the left will leak but only if I squeeze it. Is this normal? Just worried only one breast will 'work' properly once baby is here.
Was the same for me & both worked perfectly fine :-)
Thanks Shiremummy :)
i had nothing at all while PG but had no problems BFing (well nothing other than new mum teething problems!) - i even panicked because i only ever leaked once after DS was born - i was waiting for milk to squirt everywhere but nothing!
i think it'll be fine - once the baby feeds from a boob then it'll help stimulate milk production.
ive been leaking since about 21 weeks and one side leaks freely (embarrassed me a few times when i felt a wet patch on my top!)
but i have leaked with my last 2 pregnancies from one side more than the other but never had a problem with one side having milk and not the other.
you might find one side lets down quicker or something but im sure you wont have any supply issues
Lefty always leaked more then righty.
Interestingly enough, I always got more milk out of lefty....
Oh this is really reassuring. Thank you so much everyone.
