Is leaking breast milk during pregnancy safe to drink?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

For babies? Sure it is, as long as the milk doesn't pick up any bacteria as it trickles down some surfaces. But if you lay on your back, then the milk won't leak/won't leak as much. Good luck! Besides, the babies, during pregnancy, are inside your body, so the milk won't affect them. But for you? Sure it's safe to drink.

You need to see your doctor. Certain medications can cause lactation. Pituitary tumors can cause lactation. Most women do have breast secretions at some point in their lives so it may be normal. Bloody discharge or painful discharge should also be evaluation for infection or breast cancer.

What are the advantages for mother if breast-feeding?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The short is simple; breast milk is good for baby and good for mom. The complete answer is very long.

Breast milk is good for the child because:

It is the absolute best source of nutrition bar none! Better than anything that can be manufactured, better than any other milk source.

It gives the child immunities from disease and infection. Without breast milk it will take much longer for a child to develop the needed protection from every day diseases.

It helps the child emotionally. As the child has grown during pregnancy, it is use to being close to its mother, hearing her voice and heartbeat. Breast feeding reinforces this and gives the child the very needed assurance that it is loved and being cared for. Breast feeding develops long term emotional stability for the child and builds its mental health.

Breast feeding also gives the child long term against obesity, diabetes, and other health concerns.

For the mother breast feeding provides:

A close bonding with her child.

One of the best defenses against breast cancer.

Ovarian cancer rates are also lowered in breast feeding mothers.

Breast feeding also burns a lot of calories giving the mother easy opportunity to lose her pregnancy weight.

Breast feeding activates those hormones that help shrink her uterus also helping to restore a mothers pre-pregnancy figure.

This is a very abbreviated list. I would encourage other readers to add other advantages of breast feeding they have experienced.

What is the earliest sign of ALS?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease is a progressive disease that destroys nerves and muscles. Only a neurologist could diagnose it properly. The first signs that Lou Gehrig had were a slight slowing of his reactions and reduced strength. Nearly everyone over 40 has those symptoms!

The ALS Association says weakness, reduced coordination, clumsiness, pain in hands and feet are all signs of ALS but that there is no one main early symptom. All of those symptoms could be caused by many other things.

Would you drink breast milk from your girlfriend's breast just to have her breast in your mouth?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is possible if you would like to. I wouldn't recommend it as the milk is especially made for babies and has all of the thing a baby needs. It just isn't made for grown people. But you could if you would like to, it wouldn't harm you in any way.

How long must a calf be breast feed?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A calf should get colostrum within an hour or so after birth. Colostrum in the cow will be produced for the next 24 to 48 hours after the calf is born, but at eat time frame, the quality of the colostrum decreases, which means that if the calf receives its colostrum after 24 hours or more, its ability to survive, and grow into a healthy animal will be diminished. It's CRUCIAL that the calf gets his colostrum within a couple hours after birth, if he is not up and suckling (or has not been up and suckling) by the time you next check on mom and calf.

What to do about swollen milk glands during breast feeding?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

To relieve painful swelling of the breast between feedings, you can place a heat pad on the breast. You can also express some of the milk to relieve some of the pressure. Sometimes, a warm shower will also trigger the flow of milk, releasing any extra milk that may be causing swelling. If you also have pain while breastfeeding or a pink, yellow, or green discharge ROM the breast, you should see your healthcare provider. You may have an infection.

Does being stung by a wasp effect breastfeeding?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A wasp sting will not effect breastfeeding. A wasp sting will only effect the area of the body around the sting. Breastfeeding is safe to continue after a wasp sting. Breast milk has the ability to heal the sting and other skin irritations by applying a small amount of the milk to the irritated area.

If you have your nipples sucked often enough will you eventually give off breast milk?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No. The eggs in your body that crack starts your period, correct. Well, if one of those eggs actually starts developing into a baby then that is when your body starts producing the milk AND if after the baby is born the nipples are not sucked often, you will be less and less able to produce milk.
