Hi ladies I'm 20w pregnant and milk is dripping out of me! Colostrum droplets from about 17w but now its uncomfortable and each time I go for a wee I have to hand express a little to relieve the discomfort. It comes out in a proper squirt (sorry for TMI!) not just drip drop...
I tried expressing into a measuring cup just to prove to my mum that it wasnt just drops as she was insisting lol and had 15ml in minutes.
What shall I do with all of this? Looked online and seems its not worth storing until the last few weeks, and with my DD we EBF anyway so didn't need to have any stored.
Can I donate it to a milk bank? Premature babies? Seems like a massive waste to be expressing down the sink... Will having lots now affect the "quality" of first feeds when baby is born?
thanks xxx
