Which month breast milk start during pregnancy?

My mother always used to say that milk starts coming when the body is ready, closer to delivery. But honestly, for me, I saw some colostrum much earlier, in my second trimester itself. Best to speak with your gynae for precise advice, dear.

For me, it actually started around my 7th month! Just a few drops of colostrum here and there. It's totally normal if it doesn't happen early; the actual milk supply establishes after the baby is born. Every body is different.

While this is more of a physiological thing than fitness, I know my wife had a bit of colostrum around the 6th month. Good hydration and balanced nutrition are always key, pregnant or not, for the body to function optimally.

According to my OB-GYN, the breasts actually start producing colostrum, the first milk, from around 16-22 weeks of pregnancy. You might notice some leakage, or you might not, and both are perfectly normal. It doesn't indicate how well you'll breastfeed.

With both my pregnancies, I saw some milk around the 7th month. It's usually just a few drops of that thick yellowish liquid called colostrum. Don't worry if you don't see anything; it means your body is just reserving it for the baby. Main milk comes after birth.
