Colostrum

I'm only 22+2 and I'm already leaking. Is it possible to run out of colostrum before the baby is even born and is there anything I can do to stop from leaking until closer to when my baby is born?

Hun I started leaking at 17 weeks. I doubt you'll run out before baby is born. Like they have told me Your breast supply as much as the baby demands. Im 35 weeks now and i still leak here and there
And for hayang I don't know about that. But I've heard colostrum taste pretty nasty lol

I wasn't sure. I know that colostrum is limited to the first couple of days and then you start developing breast milk. I was just worried I'd lose all the colostrum and just start having breast milk.
