there are some things that will case leaking in breast not relating to pregnancy
have u breastfeed previously?
some women see leaks months after they have stopped breasefeeding
Pregnant women typically do not see any colostrum until the last trimester.
During your normal monthly breast self exams, you will see some discharge when you squeeze the nipple. If you start seeing any discharge that occurs without this exam, and have the following, please consult your doctor right away:
Leaking without squeezing
Leaking that occurs often (for those who are not currently breast feeding)
Leaking from one nipple more than the other, or just that one alone.
If the discharge contains any tint of pink or red indicating blood.
If it is clear or solid white in colour
If it appears like egg whites
There may be another cause for those women who see leaking from both nipples. These women have what is known as "galactorrhea". They have a harmless, tiny tumor in the brain that triggers a response for more milk producing hormones called prolactin. This tumor (or even tumors) do not require surgery to remove.
Always discuss any concerns you may have with your doctor. Tell him or her your symptoms, ask for a breast exam or mammogram if necessary. Let your doctor know if you are on any medications prescribed by other physicians. Some medications cause this, so read the pharmacy labels carefully.

No, the only difference between prnatal vitamins and normal vitamins are higher levels of folate and iron. Anybody can take them

for that you have to make sure you're eating right and don't skip meals. Once women have children, they get so busy taking care of hem that they often times don't et properly. I'll advise to eat healthily and basically the more your baby drinks, the more milk you'll produce.

What????
NO. They're just VITAMINS. Like a normal multivitamin, with higher levels of specific vitamins (like folic acid).

No. Vitamins dont cause milk production. Hormones do.

No! Lactation is caused by hormones in pregnancy and after pregnancy when the nipples are stimulated by a suckling baby.

No, they are just vitamins. You can induce lactation in other ways. Google "lactation induction".

Nope. It's not vitamins that do that.
