Guest guest Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 I tried to breastfeed my son seven years ago...before WLS and only did it for three weeks because my milk never fully came in and it was with doctor suggestion. Doctor and consultant said it was more than likely the size of my breasts...and that they were so large that they constricted the milkflow to my ducts. I never 'leaked' at night, never had to wear pads, they never hurt and they seemed to dry up overnight...barely even noticed that I ever had milk! BEFORE having him, they were leaking colostrum by they eighth month...but that was it...clear colostrum. This pregancy I'm REALLY HOPING that I can breastfeed successfully. My weight has been a steady 130ish, I've worn a 34B for nearly three years (VERY saggy though) and I obviously eat much healthier now. What's concerning me is that while my right breast is leaking colostrum, my left is already beyond that and is leaking WHITE! Sometimes it's not even cloudy....it's like actual milk! What is wrong with my chest? Does this mean that I'm going to have a problem again? Does my 'droopiness' mean that they won't be able to supply milk AGAIN? This really stinks...the doctor (alike the first doctor - before I actually tried) keeps telling me that it'll have no bearing....but I'm afraid I'm going to fail at it again!
