How much colostrum comes out? I'm trying to decide if I'm "normal" (though I don't know if there is a normal before birth since hormones haven't fully kicked in?), I squeeze them for a test every few days ever since Tina and someone else mentioned it quite awhile ago.

You are right, there is no normal. With my first pregnancy I didn't leak at all and I don't think I had much colostrum at all before I gave birth but I had plenty within a few hours with lots of pumping (baby was too sleepy to latch - STUPID pain meds jacked her all up) And within just a few days I had more milk than she could drink. With baby 2 and 3 I was already nursing so I had plenty before the birth.

Nothing. But I haven't really tried too terribly much. I didn't leak at all with DS either, so I'm not too worried about it. BF him for 14 months.

Mine is just a squirt as well, I was hoping that was the norm, if there was one, glad to know there isn't. I'm so paranoid about not being able to bf so I obsess over the little things!

Nothing, and my DP has been doing a lot of nipple stimulation. I couldn't BF with Daniel and didn't get any leakage with him either.

I would give mine a squeeze once in a while before I delivered and I only had a bit come out. Maybe like half an eye drop amount... if that....

Not leaking really is no indication. I also never leaked with either of my other two but EBF my daughter for six months and BF all together for a year. This time I did leak a bit beforehand, which was new to me, and have so far had plenty of milk but nowhere near an over abundance, except the day my milk came in and I was so engorged I considered going out and feeding random hungry babies.

I got nada. Well, for the record, I haven't tried to squeeze anything out. They're really sensitive, so I'm just leaving them be. I do notice a very little bit of crusties, but that's it.
