What week in pregnancy do you start producing milk?

Question

33 weeks here and today saw a tiny bit of yellowish stuff leaking, got a little surprised. Didnt expect it this early before delivery. When does the milk actually start for most of u?

Actually, your body starts producing colostrum around the 16th week. Leaking or not leaking is both totally normal, so don't stress!

I recently delivered and honestly, I didn't leak even a single drop during my entire pregnancy! I was so scared I wouldn't have milk, but the moment my baby was born, the milk started flowing perfectly. So don't worry if nothing leaks right now.

Your body starts making the first milk, colostrum, around the 16th to 20th week of pregnancy. Even if you don't see any leaking, don't worry, it's completely normal and your body is preparing well.

God has designed our bodies beautifully, dear. The body starts preparing milk in the second trimester itself, around 18 weeks. Keep your mind positive and trust this beautiful process, everything will happen at the right time.
