...start getting produced in your boobs?
Im so keen to breastfeed my little man as i breastfed my daughter till she was a year, im just starting to worry that i wont beable to this time. Maybe its becoz im Anti bottle feeding i think id hate myself if i couldnt breast feed my son, i dont even like expressing it and putting it in a bottle. x

If you managed 12 months last time, I doubt there will be a problem this time!

If you are worried because you arent leaking. I NEVER leak and I've fed 3 times and the 2nd time for a yr.

Your body is doing everything it needs to - you dont need to worry about that

Lol i didnt leak 1st time so i prob wont this time. Just keep thinking of all the reasons why i want to breastfeed again and then i think "what if i cant" Im making up for the worrying that i never done when i was pregnant with Bella lol x

I have started leaking droplets, so I guess NOW!!!! I still find it quite daunting how well prepared my body is when I'm not!!

As MM says, if you have managed so well before it is doubtful you will have any problems

I have been curious about this so I had a little sneaky squeeze the other night in the bath and a clear fluid emerged! Im at ease with it now; I was worried as my milk up and left at 4 months. Im hoping to bf for much much longer this time!

I was wondering this too! I really, really want to bf and was probably just looking for something else to worry about lol! I did the same thing as Rosies Mummy and got the same result lol!

Oh i'm thankful for this thread, my boobs having been leaking a bit for a couple of weeks, but its getting heavier now especially if i give it a little squeeze, so i was worried if this was normal or a bit early, was going to add MW next time I see her
