Common Questions and Answers about Why are my breasts producing milk

breast

i am 14 and i am a virgin and i am on my period now but i am producing breast milk after excersize there is no way i am pregnant and i have had no pain or anything it is only in my right breast and it is not alot but im worried about it

The other day when my husband and I were fooling around he said that milk came from my breasts while he was suckling them. I have also got milk out by squeezing them. Why is this happening and how can I get them completely dry?

and until today for some reason, when i squeeze my nipples, i still get a drop or two of milk or whatever it is now, out . is this normal? i asked my doctor, she didnt say anything. i dont get it.

' I no expert, but I guess it could be possible to still have milk or some left over liquid in your breasts after breast feeding, but 2 years seems like a long time to still be producing milk. At the risk of sounding gross, does this happen often? Maybe your body is still producing milk because the suck is stimulating them to.. Thats my guess...

Also, I woke up numerous times soaked in milk because my gal had slept longer than we planned and I became engorged in my sleep. I've had no leaking and I'm having my baby Friday but will be picking up pads tomorrow.

I really want my baby to have breast milk for the first month or so, but really can't imagine actually breast feeding, so I was thinking about just pumping it.. I don't know the first thing about it. So is that any different, does it break the bond? Does it hurt any less? I have absolutely no idea, so if you could help me with these questions, or let me know other things that I need to know, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you!!

i am 32 years old unmarried and engaged. Whnever we make love my right breast milks in whitish form which i never noticed before this relationship. I am also gaining fat day by day which makes me feel sleepy and lazy on doing my work. I do travell a lot but a sitting job too. I feel drouzy very after my meals and in the morning. I sleep more than 8 hours at time ,average 7 hours. I feel there is some abnormallity in my health side which i need to clerify before i go for a check up.

i am 10 wks. today and already producing a clear fluid from my breasts, but i did breast feed my other 2 children until they were a year old (my youngest is now 4 yrs. and the oldest will be 7yrs. next month) so i don't know if that has anything to do with it!?! i have read in some of my "mommy to be" books that women can start to produce milk very early on!! i wouldn't worry, but definitely ask your ob about it!! best of luck and keep us updated!!

You need to make sure you are draining your breasts every 2-3 hours and drinking a LOT of fluid. If you are supplementing, it's slowing your supply. After you nurse each time, pump for 10-15 min. on each side. There are also a few natural herbs you can take- I used fenugreek- but check with your lactation consultant or dr. first. Nurse more often and make sure you are emptying.

my wife is not feeding for more than 1 yr. but now it seems little milk is coming. can you please explain why its coming. we worried might be breast cancer.

never. breast milk is by far better and powder milk can never ever come close. I breastfeed all my 3 children for 2 whole years and all of then are very healthy and have not had the illnesses children get from bottle feeding plus with breast feeding no constipation, no hassle, milk is always at the right temp. The first 3 weeks are hard because if the pain but once you get passed that it doesn't hurt anyone and the benefits far outweigh the little hardship.

In fact he ate SO much were not sure where he puts most of it because he's below weight, yet has always eater much more than a baby his age should. Just because I pumped, my milk was just as good as if he was feeding from me, so you should be more than fine pumping a little here and there.

thank you both. Should my breasts be sore? it seems like every pregnant woman in the world has sore breasts & I don't.

I used Lansinoh cream on my nipples after each BFing session and expressed some milk, rubbed it on my nipples and allowed it to air dry whenever possible, too, and the pain went away within a few days. Keep in mind that pumping isn't a true, reliable indication of the quantity of milk you're producing - babies are usually much more efficient at extracting milk than a pump.

I called my doctor today and the nurse told me to take a test and if it came up negative that I should come in because I could have a growth on my milk gland and this could make me produce milk even though I'm not pregnant. She also said I could be pregnant in my tubes.( tubal pregnancies don't always show up on home pregnancy test because the pregnancy level is lower in ectopic pregnancies.) I took a test and it was negative so I go in next week to see my doctor.

Vegas stripper said she gave birth about 8 weeks ago from 4/10/08 and stopped breast feeding after 3 weeks from birth. So i would assume she was still producing milk. In Vegas my lips get dry and crack so im concerned if she was infected it would enter the cracks of my lips. Plus my throat was already dry. I had blood from my nose when i blew it. I am freaking out. Teak and others please respond and give me your honest opinion.

So my fiance and i were just starting to fool around and he just started playing around with my breast as soon as he started sucking on my left breast he jumped back and said i tasted something sweet i look down and be hold its milk.I have 2 children already and hes fix'd(vactomy) pretty sure im not pregnant ive had 2 periods this month. So with the more symptoms.

Hello ladies, on Friday I woke up around 2 am and was terribly sick, because me and her ad were both sick she went with one grandma during the day and she has been wih the other grandma all weekend, I have been pumping only twice anesthesia because that is hard for me to do enough I'm still so sick, thus morning I pumped and only got 2oz on both sides when I usually get 5 on the right and about 3 on the left my daughter was always fed in demand. Does this mean I won't produce any more milk?

Also, just to a heads up, the more u breast feed the more milk you produce. breast milk does not have a particular time to dry up, the longer u nurse, the longer u will produce milk. it can take awhile to dry up as well after u have stopped nursing. Nursing can also delay or cease ur periods as well, but this doesnt mean breast feeding can protect u from pregnancy. I didnt get my period until i completely stopped nursing and i nursed my first son for 2 1/2 years! and i still have milk...

I am wondering what I can do to produce more milk. My son is up to about 4oz at each feeding when I use a bottle. When I breastfeed him, he is on for 30-45mins. Then an 1.5-2 hours later he is crying like he is hungry. Is there anything that I could do/use to produce more milk? I really do not want to give him formula.

No baby in uterus but my breast are leaking breast milk. This is so terrible to have this happen and have to baby to look forward to, to breast feed. I am back so sad now:( When will the breast milk stop producing?

Any ideas why sometimes I have more fat in my milk than others? Sometimes there's pure yellowish looking fat in it, almost like butter. I'm wondering if what I eat effects if my milk is more fatty?

After 4-5 days of having her she rejected feeding from my breasts and 6-8 days she rejected my milk completely. I just recently found out that the reason why is that she is lactose intolerant. Well I'm still producing milk and I am now completely engorged. I have tried the "No More Milk"tea from Earth Mama <3 Angel Baby, I've done the cabbage trick, warm showers, tight bras, everything. Nothing seems to be working. What can I do?

But honestly I'm just so glad that he is latching on and feeding for a decent amount of time, I just don't feel like struggling with the other breast. I'm hoping if I can keep it producing milk we will work it out eventually. Right now it is all so new, I'm just going with what is working for now. Thanks everyone. Andi, yes I think it is the Lactina. It is basically a blue box motor with an arm actuating a cylindrical pump.

Breastfeeding is very difficult and the less I fed and supplimented with formula, the less my son wanted my breast becaue the less milk I was producing. My son eventually weaned himself off of my breast by 2 months. My advice, keep trying to feed him only breast and make sure to pump if you do decide to suppliment. You want your body to think that you are nursing.

As I've been looking at some of the other lady's posts I'm starting to feel like I'm not producing as much milk as I should be. I know right now with my duct being clogged and having mastitis it's harder to pump. But I can hardly get 3-4 oz at a time to store in the fridge and then he wants to eat right away so I give him the bottle I just pumped. Is this normal or is there something I can dobro increase my milk supply? Oh I forgot to mention he is just over 6 weeks old.

I would suggest however that it could also be reflux, because as I am led to believe BF babies aren't usually all that windy, there's no air in your breasts right? that's as best I can figure why. Anyway, Just watch out she doesn't have a lazy latch, it wont hurt you but if the seal is not formed between breast and baby she may get air in that way. This was long winded....

I also had the same problem that I was not making enough milk and my doctor suggested that I use the breast pump when Archie wasnt eating even when there wasn´t anything in the breast, that way the body thinks the baby wants more milk and so produces it. It worked for me, I was making more than I needed after a while, I did feel like I was a cow being milked for a while because I always had the baby or the pump on the breast, it is very time consuming too!
