Lots of colostrum TMI

I know we've had a few threads on colostrum but dang I have a ton now! The first time I noticed it, it was clear. Now it's a milky white. Dh and I were in the tub last night and I showed it to him to. Apparently he already knew b/c his response was, "um...I wasn't going to say anything but I'm pretty sure that 'last time' I tasted some." I guess during sex they'll be no more boob time.

oh dear. i'm wondering...is it bad to pump that stuff and save it? i know nipple stimulation won't induce labor unless you're ready to go into labor...

Mine has started to get milky, too! DH is kind of freaked out by it. I told him to get used to it :. Yes, I've read that you can pump it with no worries, although I a) don't necessarily want to encourage more of the stuff! b) don't think I have nearly enough to justify going through that. I'm just glad to know the ladies work!

Ooh, oatmeal helps increase supply? I didn't know that! I wonder how it works.

I've been eating it just about every morning throughout the whole pregnancy, just because. Maybe that explains the random leaks?

I didn't know that either, however if DH has it his way, I won't need oatmeal, he's somewhat of a fan of breast milk! He got a little the other day when we were fooling around, and my boobs have been feeling more heavy than achy lately. I've sort have been afraid to try and squeeze any out, I'm not ready for leaky boobs.

Haha, DH told me he wants to taste it. I thought he was being weird, but it sounds like he's not the only one!

I've also been eating oatmeal 5-6 mornings out of every week. But no leaking yet.

I think I've been making it too...a couple of weekends ago my boobs were milk free (I know since ds2 kept biting me and was very upset) then for the next week there wasn't a whole lot and now there is the same as before (enough to nurse him 2-3x a day) but whenever he poops afterwards his poop is liquid.

it is good in the fridge for a week, a freezer on top of the fridge (or below I guess) for 3 months and a deep freeze for 6 months. at this point unless you have a free standing deep freeze it wouldn't do any good. JMO though
