Kind of a personal question so I understand if nobody feels comfortable answering ! But , when anyone started having little signs of leakage ( breast milk ) did it start off very little &’ turn into more or is something wrong ? I’ve been wearing sports bra’s my whole pregnancy ( more comfy for me ) &’ I’ve been wearing this black one for a day or so &’ noticed little white circles inside where my nipples go I can tell it’s a little dried up milk but , it isn’t a lot. I’m 33 weeks as of tomorrow &’ this is all new to me.. not sure if I’m overreacting or being dumb for even asking but I’m worried since it’s not a lot maybe I’m not producing milk like I’m supposed to or something..

Causes of milk leakage
During breastfeeding, milk leakage can occur, and here are the causes of this perfectly normal phenomenon.
- Every mom is different: for some, milk leaks are frequent, even systematic; for others, they never happen.
- Breasts leak simply because they are full of milk, usually in the morning when the baby has not been fed for several hours.
- In other cases, milk leaks from one breast while you are nursing your baby from the other.
- Sometimes milk leaks out when you hear another baby crying - this is a let-down reflex!

All moms….When did your breast milk come in? I’m 34 weeks and I feel like my breast hasn’t gotten any bigger or haven’t had any leakage. Im getting super nervous because of the milk shortage right now.
