I breastfed DD1 until she was 2.5years old. I'm now 39 weeks pregnant with my second. I had no problems in the beginning when I had DD1, my milk came in within a day of giving birth and we never had any issues. I'm worried this time round though as by this stage in my pregnancy last time I was leaking quite a lot of milk. This time I've leaked a little bit but no more than a drop. Last time I remember having a shower and milk was trickling out from around 30 weeks or so. Is this normal?
 
Totally normal. I've never leaked with any of mine and fed the first two til a year and am 14 weeks in with #3.
You know what to do so I've found any issues are easier to overcome, partly because you know what to expect and partly because you know that most issues are temporary and can be overcome. You'll become an expert at feeding and reading to your toddler,/opening snacks/playing games with one hand. Make sure you leave a space beside you for your toddler to cuddle in while you're feeding too.
Xx
