When does milk start coming out your breast when your pregnant?

Answer 1

A few days befor the birth of a child the mother produces colostrum. This is thicker and more yellowish than milk. After about 2-3 days the "real" milk comes in. breast milk changes as you nurse longer to meet the changing needs of the baby.

Answer 2

Actually, women don't lactate during pregnancy. That doesn't occur until after delivery, usually a few days or so. The production of colostrum -- a "premilk" -- occurs around week 20 of pregnancy and continues for a few days after delivery until real milk is produced. Wrong. Colostrum CAN be the first sign of pregnancy. ------ Though breast tenderness and swelling are usually the most obvious signs.

Answer 3

When you're pregnant, you may leak what's called Colostrum. It looks like breast milk, but it's actually the very first stages of breast milk. Colostrum is thin so the newborn can learn to suck and swallow. Coloustrum is usually leaked in the 3rd trimester (28 weeks-40 weeks gestation)

Colostrum is what your baby intially feeds on after they're born. The breast milk itself will gradually come in, and it's nothing to worry about because Colostrum is all nutrients.

Answer 4

Colostrum, the liquid that is so full of nutrients, antibodies, etc. and is so vital for newborns, usually lasts about the first two weeks and begins immediately--breast milk follows that for as long as you keep breastfeeding and drink enough fluids.

Answer 5

I started leaking colostrum when I was about 12 weeks along. Then I started leaking milk in my 7th month. It depends on your body ... some people never leak at all.
