Colostrum Posted: 11-01-04 16:01pm
I am 21 years old. I had my first baby 7
months ago. I breastfed him for only six
weeks. I have now noticed that one of my
breasts, the left, has become a little
bigger and I am able to squeeze colostrum
out of it. Could I be pregnant or is
this something that breast do from time to
time?
Consumption of colostrum also improves
prostate health, speeds healing of
injuries, improves hair growth &
reduces allergy symptoms. Colostrum is
as effective as an antibiotic for many
diseases but without the side affects.
where in heavens name did anything in that
answer her question??
Sorry love I am not sure if that is normal
my daughter is 3 weeks and i'm
breastfeeding. I don't think it's
unnormal though...

I don't know about the colostrum bit...
But I do know that if a woman has had
children before then her breasts are
"always" capable of making milk. You
could actually adopt a baby and be able to
breastfeed. I found that out when I was
reading a book on breastfeeding...Don't
know if that helps...

i think the point was that colostrum is
only the first milk, after 7 months you
would not be creating colostrum, only
normal milk.

yes it is normal for this to happen once
you have had a baby you can still have
colostrum my sister had her last kid 4
years ago and she still has it.My other
sis had her kid 2 years ago and still have
it..Iam 14w5d pg and just stoped nurseing
my 3year old in dec think got im done but
I have not had no colostrum yet...But
after I was done nurseing my daughter what
that was almost 8 years ago I was done
nurseing her at 4 mounths due to working
and not haven much milk...I did have
colostrum 3 mouths after I was done..So it
can happen to any one..No worries it

to be sure..

When I had my son I produced milk and once
dried up I could still squeeze my nipples
and some would come out. It did finally
go away, however now that I am preggers
again it's comming out of my breast all on
it's own. Sometimes it's so bad that I
have to wear a pad there. Don't know why
this is, but I am going to the doctor and
I will ask why this is.
