When did you start lactating?

Question

I’m 14w6d, just wondering when I’ll start producing milk? 
First child!

Answer

Colostrum is produced during pregnancy and it’s different for every woman, usually behind around 3-4 months along. 
Your actual milk doesn’t begin being produced until AFTER delivery. The placenta detaching is what signals the body to produce. Milk usually comes in about 4 after delivery, give or take. Until your milk comes in the colostrum is what supports baby. It’s basically a super rich, super nutritious milk to feed baby until the milk is in.

Answer

You will start producing milk after delivery.
I was 17w when I started leaking colostrum with my first. 18w with my second. 
Every women and pregnancy is different though. Colostrum production is not an indication of future milk supply either.
