Through how many pores in the areola should breastmilk be coming out? I'm worried about the milk coming out, only 2 pores in my right breast.

Hi, There are 15-25 openings in the nipple corresponding to the internal lobes. Generally, one or more of the ducts may end at the areola and may leak milk during lactation. I think, you should consult your doctor and ask him about the problem, he will be able to guide you better. What I feel is that your baby might not be sucking nicely or you should change your lactating position so that baby gets a full grip on the nipple and is able to express the milk. The more better his lactating position is better he would be able to suck and hence the pores will open.
