Eek! What do you mean I’ll leak?!
Being a new mum is an incredible journey filled with joy, love, and a few challenges along the way. One of those challenges is dealing with the inevitable leakage of breast milk. It's a natural process, but it can be quite inconvenient and messy.
Why do pregnant women and new mums leak breast milk?
During pregnancy, a woman's body prepares for breastfeeding by producing colostrum, a nutrient-rich fluid that is often referred to as "liquid gold." This colostrum can leak from the breasts even before the baby is born.
After childbirth, when a mother's milk supply comes in, the breasts can become engorged and leak milk. This is a natural response as the body adjusts to the baby's feeding schedule. However, it can be quite uncomfortable and embarrassing for new mums, especially when they are out and about.
Why Do Milk Leaks Happen?
Your body is gearing up to feed your newborn, which can sometimes result in unexpected leaks. Here are the main reasons why this occurs:
- Letdown Reflex: This is your body's automatic response to your baby’s cries, thoughts of your baby, or even just your routine feeding times. Your milk glands are ready to provide, leading to occasional leaks.
- Overproduction: During the early stages of breastfeeding, your body is still determining the exact amount of milk your baby needs, which can lead to an oversupply and, consequently, leaks.
When and Where to Expect Leaks
Milk leaks can happen at various times, often without warning. Here are some common scenarios:
- During Feedings: It’s not uncommon for the breast not being nursed to release milk simultaneously.
- Between Feedings: Especially in the early days, leaks can occur as your milk supply regulates.
- At Night: The letdown reflex can be triggered when you lie down, causing leaks while you sleep.
- Unexpected Moments: A baby’s cry or even thinking about your baby can trigger leaks at any time.
