I'm 33wks nearly and haven't leaked any milk, does this have any link to having milk or not when the baby is here? I know everyone is different but anyone ever NOT leaked before baby arrived then been able to breast feed once here?

Whether you leak colostrum or not will have no determination on your ability to breastfeed Smile

I never leaked, I BF DS until he was 9mo.

I never leaked whilst pregnant and breastfed both DC's. Breastfed DS1 til 18 months and only stopped as I was pregnant and it was uncomfortable.

Seriously, don't worry about it...

Never leaked, ended up with enough milk for an entire neonatal unit (not literally) and still feeding DS at 23 months.

Leakage has no bearing. Grin

Agree with others, I never leaked. BF dc1 for 18 months and dc2 is now 11 weeks and still going, never had a problem.

FWIW I still had milk (not just colostrum) when DC2 was born, we knew because she threw it up everywhere after her first-ever feed. Never leaked while pregnant though.

First pregnancy never leaked at all, and bf DS until 4 Blush
34 weeks pg now and only had a little crustyness no actual leaking. Don't think it has anything to do with the ability to bf

Never leaked during pregnancy. Bf dd until 22 months leaked (mostly let down on other breast) while feeding for probaby 9 months.

I am also a tiny bit crusty but only stopped bf dd three months ago.
