Colostrum begins at about 16 weeks of pregnancy. It starts to mature at about 3-5 days postpartum. The delivery of the placenta signals milk maturity. The earlier and more frequently you breastfeed, the sooner you should see the change.

Not until after your baby is born. Your baby's first few meals will be of colostrum (if you are breastfeeding). Your baby will likely eat many times in the first couple days (cluster feedings) to help bring in your milk. Your milk should come in between 2-7 days after your baby is born. At this point, your baby should start to settle down as far as how often he eats (until the next growth spurt, of course). Congrats and good luck.

Lactation starts after delivery, usually in 2-7 days after. Why? The rapid loss of hormones coupled with the high oxytocin help (oxytocin from labor).
