Is it a bad sign for breastfeeding that I'm not leaking at all?

I wanted to tell you that both of my girls were successfully breastfed and I never ever leaked an ounce of milk, not pre-baby and not post baby. Somehow my body just knew the exact amount to make and that was all that it did, much to my annoyance because there was nothing available to pump without stealing the next feeding.
Good luck!

I never leaked with DD and I was a real milk cow with her. LOL Haven't leaked with this one either, so hoping the same holds true. I wouldn't worry about it. I don't think it means anything.
No leaking for me either....at 36 weeks..if I SQUEEZED my nipples....some colostrum would "ooze" out....but no leaking......
My Milk came in at 3 days post birth...... and I am producing a better amount than with DD 2 years ago. I can pump about 5-6 ounces every 3 hours....... Not too shabby!!!
Not at all. Your milk typically doesn't come in until 3-4 days post-baby. I never leaked milk until mine came in with ds, and successfully bf him for 13 months. He was never supplemented on formula. This was my first pregnancy where I had a drop of leakage about a month ago, and I'm still not reading much into that. Hugs.
I have only noticed leaking once this pregnancy, it was about a week ago after a shower. I laid down for a nap and noticed a tiny wet dot on the sheets -- that was it. I think it's probably another one of those things that just varies by woman and/or by pregnancy. I'm planning to breastfeed and I don't think of it as a bad sign, I'm just kind of glad I'm not all messy already!
