why haven't my breast milk develop when I am nine months pregnant?

Question

I am nine months pregnant and ten days past my due date and still i have no breast milk or did my breast grow they are still my regular bra size

Answer 1

My milk started coming in the day after I gave birth. So don't worry, it'll happen. And Congratulations!

Answer 2

If you squeeze your nipples a little you might see a little yellowish discharge. This is colostrum, the first milk that your body makes. Your milk will not "come in" until after the baby has been born and the placenta has been delivered. This is what triggers the milk machine to go into full production. After that, supply is driven by hormones for the first couple of days. Then it kicks into a "supply and demand" process where the baby nursing at the breast tells your body how much milk to make. There is great info at http://www.kellymom.com about how milk production works. If you haven't even had the baby yet, don't worry! The milk will be there when you need it!

Answer 3

Your breast milk does not come in until a couple of days after delivery. Once you deliver you will have a very thick milk come out called colastrum(excuse spelling) this is super good for your baby, and probably the most important thing you can give, that is why it does not happen until after delivery. Also if you are 10 days over due, what is your doctor saying??? I would want to be induced if I was that far overdue.

Answer 4

I didn't have much of an increase in breast size during pregnancy either. I thought I had escaped the agony of milk-filled breasts, but about 24 hours after giving birth, I woke up "dripping" and in a lot of pain.

Your breasts may be hyper-sensitive during pregnancy but the hormones that induce lactation are not fully activated until after you give birth. Don't worry - the milk will come when it's needed.

Answer 5

Milk does no longer include adequate foodstuff, supplementations or minerals for it to appropriately keep up a starting to be toddler. we are informed to no longer provide toddler milk till after a million 365 days of age in many circumstances because milk isn't adequate to satisfy all of toddler's particular nutritional criteria in the course of the first 365 days of existence. toddlers should be on breast milk or formulation or a mixture of both till after a million year previous.

Answer 7

Mine didn't come until after i had my baby which i didn't breastfeed.

Nursing mothers who become pregnant might notice that their milk begins to change, typically around the third or fourth month. The quantity often will decrease, and many toddlers comment that it has changed in taste.

Later in your pregnancy, your breasts will begin to produce colostrum for the new baby, whether or not you have an older baby already at your breast.

Mature breastmilk actually does not "come in" on a certain day. The milk you produce increases gradually over the first 36 hours following your baby's birth, and then dramatically increases over the next two to five days -- if your baby is put to your breast frequently. Over the next two weeks, it will slowly change to mature breastmilk.

Possibly, your milk was a bit slow in increasing in supply due to a cesarean birth, or a difficult start with breastfeeding. The key to increasing your milk supply is to put your baby to breast as soon as possible following the birth, and to encourage very frequent feeds in the early days.

To help get breastfeeding off to a good start, ask to be seen by the hospital's IBCLC, or a Lactation Consultant in private practice. Ask her to observe a complete feed and help you and your little one with positioning and attachment, if necessary.

To help increase your milk supply:

Carefully consider the use of medication during your labor and birth. Medications used during labor (including the epidural) have been found to have an effect on your baby's behavior at the breast. This may last for the first two weeks because these medications can take quite a while to clear from your baby's system. A mom who has had a medicated labor/birth has more chance of having a baby who is sleepy or exhibits sucking difficulties following the birth. Studies have shown that using a labor assistant/doula for your birth may help you to avoid or reduce the amount of medication you use. If you do use medication, the less medication you receive, and the later in labor, the less you will pass on to your baby.
Nurse early and often. When a baby is put to the breast for frequent feeds, she is less likely to be jaundiced. When a baby is jaundiced, it is common for her to be very sleepy and difficult to feed. Encourage your new baby to get in lots of practice time at your breast in the early days. Newborns need to nurse at least 10 to 12 times each day, and both of you will enjoy the skin-to-skin contact that breastfeeding provides.
Use no artificial nipples (including pacifiers) nor routine supplementation with water or artificial baby milk (ABM). These practices can compromise the breastfeeding relationship. Use of water or ABM will reduce the amount of time that your baby spends at the breast. Frequent nursings are very important, especially in the first six weeks of your baby's life, as your milk supply is increasing. If supplementation becomes necessary, you can express your milk using a hospital-grade electric breastpump and feed it to your baby (using a syringe to finger-feed, a cup or a nursing supplementer at your breast).
Milk may indeed change more quickly for mothers who have a child at their breast, especially if the baby is still nursing frequently. I would not expect your milk to come in more quickly than any other mom who has already given birth, since you weaned quite a few months ago.

Don't allow yourself to become concerned about your milk supply. Babies do not require large quantities of mother's milk in their first days of life. An early feed may be only about two teaspoons of your milk. Receiving a small amount will encourage your baby to feed often, and frequent nursing will help establish your milk supply. Just remember the mantra "breastfeed early and often" and seek help early if you are having any breastfeeding difficulties. Best wishes in mothering!

Answer 8

They will after you have the baby. Don't worry you'll grow like 2 cups bigger and wish they would stay that size.

Answer 9

You will start once you have given birth. Most of the time you do, it is pretty rare that you don't . Occasionally it doesn't start, but not often. You don't HAVE to grow larger.

Answer 10

May be it will be developed after the birth.....
