When does a woman begin to lactate?

Breastmilk can start as early as midway through your pregnancy, at about 16 weeks gestation. From 16 weeks until about 3 days postpartum the creamy yellow substance is your colostrum; full of antibodies, to help boost bubs immune system. After the first 3 days, your breast milk will turn into a more matured milky and watery substance.
