Is Leaking Breasts Postpartum Normal?
Question: I am a mother of 19day baby and breast feeding her and my nipples are leaking is it something to worry?
Brief Answer:
Normal
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
Since you have started breastfeeding, the breast milk is being produced in abundant quantity.
So, it leaks in early days when the baby is very small, as the quantity of the milk is more for him/her.
There is absolutely nothing to worry.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
