why are my breasts producing milk

You have started producing milk. It's really because they are growing in size and are getting irratated. Scratching too much increases stretch marks. Try rubbing them and putting cocoa butter on them.

yup its just colostrum right now u wont get ure milk until 3-4 days after birth if u decide to bf

Im 14weeks & I was wondering when does milk form in my breasts. My breasts feel larger and are always sore...

Real milk doesn't usually come in until a few days after birth. If its colostrum you are thinking of it varies. With my first pregnancy I didn't leak prior to baby. With my second it was like a week or two before delivery and with my recent pregnancy I was 23 weeks pregnant but with this last pregnancy my breasts didn't get any larger until after delivery.

I would look into donating your breast milk. With my first son he wouldnt latch on. I never thought about donated milk but ive looked into it this time around. There are lots of places that will let you sell or donate it. And its tax deductible.

That's me ALL the way. I had my first when I was 19. I tried SO hard to breastfeed him and was unsuccessful. It was heartbreaking for me but at six weeks he looked so frail and was at the breast every 45 mins to an hour and cried a lot. I just wasn't making milk. I called La Leche, they told me to drink more water so I drank more than a gallon a day and it still didn't work. Finally at two months, I broke down and had my husband get formula.

I'm 23w3d and mine seem to still be the same, just abit bigger, but not sore or anything. I don't know if I should be producing milk yet or not, or whether each woman is different :/ but there is hardly any change with my boobs.

I'm 12 weeks and my breasts feel so full.

All size boobs are able to produce milk as far as I know. With my first I gained a lot of weight during pregnancy and was a dd and had a slow start to producing milk. With my second I barely gained any weight so my boobs stayed their regular size, b, and I had an over production of milk. I had to pump after I was done feeding in order to be comfortable. I wouldn't be worried. Some women's milk doesn't come in until a day or two after the babies born!

Okay thank you guys (: I was getting kinda worried lol

Its all different for all ladies. Some ladies wont even start until baby is born. Technically you dont start producing milk until a couple days after baby is born. You produce something else, cant remeber the name....something like collustrum???

ll be 18 weeks Thursday. My nipples are frickin HUGE though. Last night my 4 year old kicked me at 2 different times when I was asleep....ohhh the pain!

As of a few days ago, my breasts are producing liquid (I wouldn't say that it's milk, but I wouldn't swear that it isn't either). I've also gone up more than a cup size already. It's not a lot as yet, but I wonder if this is normal or not. I also lactated for about a week and a half after a 9 week chemical abortion back in May of '08, so maybe I just start really early or something.

The delivery of your placenta releases a surge of hormones that triggers your breasts to start producing mature milk. It usually takes 48-72 hours after delivery for that milk to come in. It can take longer if baby is preemie or if you have diabetes or are induced. I wouldn't worry.

You can get colostrum in your breasts at any point in your pregnancy. It's the milk before the actual milk lol. Kind of yellowish white. I started leaking at 18 weeks and it's happened on and off. The real milk comes usually within 72 hours after birth. Til then, the baby drinks colostrum.

s different for all women but the average time to start producing colostrum is between 20-30 weeks. I started producing colostrum at about 23 weeks, and some women don't even produce anything until baby is born but that is rare.

Yes, once your baby exits through your birth canal, your body will send a message to your brain that will make your breasts start producing milk.

I am 5 weeks pregnant, how long does tender breasts last for, as mine are very sore!!!!

Ate great bit I wasnt producing enough. My doc said some people with thyroid problem do have problem producing milk. I tried pumping after she ate every 2 hours. I eventually dried up on my own and she had to go to formula. I really dont want that to happy with my second baby. I am due in 1 wk. Is there anyway to help milk production other than pumping to help?

Massage your breasts taking a boyish shower an just let the water run on your breasts pump a lot like every 2 hours an there are cookies an shakes you can make that a lot as well

Okay so like this is my first child &&' i am 30 weeks so my question is how is the breast milk is surpose to come when it first start coming ? Such as blood w clearness , clearness , or just white . Not sure , need a lil help . ??

Wow, I started leaking lots of milk with my first pregnancy on a daily basis during my 4th month. I wonder why that was.

C (friday) and now it is the wednesday after i got it and i noticed my breasts are leaking, milk, well its not exactally milk its more watery! i am guessing it is just the hormones changing, but i am not sure. this was my first pregnancy and im 19. I also want to know if you should somehow get rid of the milk becasue i heard that not breast feeding can cause breast cancer later in life.???

Also, when I pumped I would have to look at a picture of my baby in order for my milk to let down. Go buy mothers milk tea it has that fenugreek or whatever it's called to help lactation. Also try to get in touch with your local La Leche League. Breastfeeding can be tiring at first but you will get the hang of it! You are still a good mama cow!! And I had mastitis after my first pregnancy. It blocked my ducts and I had to have the infection cut out.

Its been a week and i barelystarted producing milk. I really dont want to breastfeed at all. I have my reasons. And the lactation specialist agreed. She has been on formula since day one. What can i do to dry my milk???

t have any bumps, but the skin around my nipples and on my breasts are peeling. My nips are so tender and I think they're still growing. I haven't had a baby before, so I'm not sure what the milk production feels like... Anyone else?

Right now the best thing to would be to get rid of some of your milk then cover with cabbage leaves.

Ill be 39 weeks tomorrow and my breasts have yet to leak is that normal? Cuz i see people talking bout their breast leaking in their 20 something weeks i know theres something in my breast cuz if i mess with them itll come out but they dont leak? Anyone else that didnt leak?
