During pregnancy, the mother's breasts will enter a stage of readiness to produce milk. From about the second trimester of pregnancy, colostrum is produced by the mother's body, until about 2-4 days after the baby is born. Colostrum is characterized by being yellow, thick and sticky, very rich in nutrients and antibodies. After about 5-14 days from the baby's birth, the mother's body produces transitional milk.
