Thanks HopeN. I was reading a book the other day and it said that fluid could start leaking from 24 weeks. Some books just make a person warried for nothing.What do you feed the baby if the milk supply does not kick in imediatly after the baby is born?
Breast milk

I'm 27 weeks pg and still no signs of breast milk.When should i expect it?My nipples are very sore and sensitive.
once the baby is born, ur body will secrete something called colustrum which is super nutritious and high in calorific value. That would be the babys food for about a day or two and then ur milk starts in. The baby drinks like 5 ml or so the first day and then 10 ml the next two days and so on. If there isnt enough coming out the 1st day, dont worry, the Drs can feed in formula. But Im sure u will start the colustrum after the delivery. its only natural and has been happening for 100s of years :)
