Hi I'm 31weeks+5days pregnant with baby number 4 and even though my boobs have been aching a little my boobs haven't changed my nipples have gone darker but that's it. I'm posting as I thought /expected them to start to leek. I really want to try Breast-feeding but worried I won't get any milk in or get it on time
With dd 1 my milk didn't come in till a week after she was born
Dd2 it was around 4 days and dd3 the same this was a huge factor why I was unable to breast feed but this time round with my ds I'd love to try is there anything I can do or am I worrying to early ? Thank you

I had this problem... I think it's definitely good to ask your mid wife and plan ahead. It turns out I have a condition called tubular hypoplasma and it meant I had to part feed. I have less glandular tissue than others. Maybe visiting a breast feeding cafe un your area would be helpful. Good luck!

My boobs didn't change/get bigger at all until mid-30's weeks. I am now 23 days postpartum and they grew 2/3 sizes when my milk came in and I am successfully EBF.
