Breastmilk is the first and perfect food that nature provides for babies. It’s referred to as natures perfect food and golden.

It’s important to know that breastmilk starts to form during pregnancy. It does not wait for baby to be born first. The first milk is called colostrum and this is already formed before the birth of the baby

Mums in their third trimester of pregnancy when they express breastmilk will realise that some liquid comes out. Sometimes yellowish or clear liquid. This is perfectly ok. The body is preparing for the baby

This is why you should trust your body and start breastfeeding immediately the baby is born. Don’t assume there is no breastmilk. There is breast milk. All you need to do is to allow baby to suck more. The more the baby sucks the more breastmilk is produced.

Don’t rush to give formula. The more you give formula the more the baby will be satisfied and will not suck . This can cause reduced breastmilk supply and also nipple confusion

Trust in your body and ability to breastfeed and give baby on demand .Breastmilk has many advantages for both mum and baby.

Let me repeat that your breastmilk leaking during pregnancy is very normal and doesn’t come with any risk. If it’s bloody, brown, greenish, comes with pain or skin changes report to your doctor for prompt assessment.

Thanks and don’t leave your pregnancy to chance!
