Question about breastfeeding..?

Question

I have always wanted to breastfeed even before i became pregnant. I am now 32 weeks pregnant and my boobs have not grown even a little bit!!! they are definitly not leaking. Do you think i will be able to supply enough breast milk for the baby?
Another question i have is, unfortunatly, i am not with the father, cause well he didnt wanna settle down with just one girl. So in other words he will have him every other weekend. On the weekend he doesnt have him, most likely Saturday and maybe some fridays that my child is gone, is it okay to go out and drink at bars? meaning a few shots and a couple beers.? considering it would be a whole day until i see my child again???

Answer 1

don't worry about your boobs growing and leaking. if this is your first pregnancy, when you go in to labor your body will send the signal to start producing the milk. It is common to NOT leak, especially with your first pregnancy. If you were leaking now I would be worried because you would be losing the colostrum which is the first thing a newborn baby gets when breastfeeding. Your actual milk won't come in for a few days after birth.
As far as drinking goes, you can drink but you should pump and dump your breast milk for 24 hours after you drink.

Answer 2

I know what you mean. You will produce enough milk, and yes when you have your baby you will leak. The best think you can do is to get nursing pads( I had to learn the hard way).As for breast size, it means nothing. you make the milk from your body, not your breasts, The ducts in your breast hold the milk until the baby is ready to eat. The actual fat has nothing to do with any of the nursing process to tell you the truth. And when your baby is away for the week end, you should buy a breast pump. Pump milk 1 day before your baby leaves to take to the fathers house.
