usually after the seventh month
As early as last month before delivery.
Because you have just given birth.
Yes. The only reason your body is producing colostrum is because of the pregnancy hormone
I am 20 weeks and producing colostrum. Depending on the duct from which it is expressed - it is clear, white, or bright yellow.
I had my last period 1 1/2 months ago had a blood test done 2 weeks ago but my breasts are leaking colostrum. Am i pregnant? I stopped breastfeeding my second child October 2006, might it be due to this that the milk is just still working itself out
NOTHING can or should replace Colostrum when feeding a newborn calf. You MUST feed a new baby calf colostrum within 24 hours after it is born. There is nothing man-made or similar than can replace colostrum.
Colostrum "changes" into milk 24 to 72 hours after parturition.

Although most women experience some colostrum earlier in their pregnancy, it is also normal to get colostrum later. It just depends on your body. I would not worry unless you have no milk after baby is born. You may even have colostrum now, but it just needs to be expressed. Sometimes, it is hard for the colostrum to let down.
Yes, if you intend to store the milk as colostrum. For the next 24 to 36 hours she will be producing colostrum, and this is not really the kind of milk that you would like to drink. Colostrum is best for baby calves, and should be collected and stored (frozen in the deep freeze) for any orphaned calves that need it ASAP.
Yes, colostrum, the first milk is a clear/yellow color.

Women who just delivered a baby within 14 days produce colostrum. There is no "best" colostrum.
Generally the woman's body will begin to prepare her for breast feeding in the 3rd trimester. Her breasts will leak a small amount of fluid not quite "milk" but "colostrum", which helps trigger the bodies hormones for producing and encouraging the "let down" of milk. Studies say that the first milk that oozes out of the breast which is called the "colostrum", which is thick and yellow, plays an important role in the health of the baby.
It is called Colostrum, very nutrient rich for the baby. Let the babynurse and your milk will come in really well!
For the most part, horse colostrum is not commercially available. I would suggest checking with your equine veterinarian to see if there is a colostrum bank that you could purchase some from.
