21 weeks - leaking some breast milk

Super normal! I get really leaky in the mornings when I’m super relaxed especially cuddling my dog or right after a shower when they’ve been warmed up!


Not everyone experiences it but just your body changing and getting ready.

It’s not milk or colostrum just yet.. and you’re not suppose to express it until 34 weeks or play with your boobs too much (although it’s tempting) as that can trigger early labour. Just put in some breast pads :)

So this is pretty normal. You’re leaking colostrum at the moment. If it’s not much you can buy washable breast pads and leave them in your bras or use disposable ones. It can be a little uncomfortable if your nips stick to fabric or you leak through your shirt when you’re least expecting it.

And you shouldn’t try to express it until after 37wks (not 34) as it can bring on labour.

Normal. Ive leaked early with both my first pregnancy and my current. With my first when he was born my supply was a lot and I got 8ozs from each side every time I pumped ( he wasn’t able to breastfeed so I had to pump). So far I’m leaking a lot like I was with him so I’m hoping my supply will be the same. Definitely recommend getting pads for your bra it helps so much so you don’t have to change your shirt all the time.

I’ve been leaking since 16 weeks 😳 Dr. Said it’s totally normal and might indicate a strong supply when i start breastfeeding!
