BREAST CHANGES

You may have seen breast changes in your pregnancy, some mothers start leaking milk during pregnancy, but this does not mean that you will not produce milk if you have not experienced this.

The first milk (colostrum) your baby gets is small in volume to match your baby’s tummy, but provides everything your baby needs.

As your milk starts to ‘come in’ on day 2-3 you will feel your breasts getting fuller and firmer.

You may notice after the first few weeks that your breasts do not feel as full as they did in the early days, this is normal as your body is adjusting to your baby’s needs. Some mothers will leak breastmilk, some not. Whether you leak breastmilk or not it is not an indication of how much milk you have available for your baby.
