A member asked:

When your pregnant do your breasts start to leak milk while your pregnant or does it only happen after the babys born?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It varies: It's not uncommon to have some leakage before the baby is born. Full production, however, doesn't start until after the baby is born and the nipples are being stimulated by the infant latching.
