Montgomery glands

Great post from @themilkmanual! I always like to emphasize that leaking colostrum (or not leaking) is not indicative of your ability to breastfeed! Repost from @themilkmanual using @RepostRegramApp - it’s always funny when discussing breast changes with patients. Most of them are so shocked at how their breast change.
