At what age girls usually start producing breastmilk?

Answer 1

women do not produce breast milk until the late stages of pregnancy. colostrum, which is pre- milk comes anytime from three months on then after the baby is born, usually about three days after, the woman's milk "comes in" production of breast milk is one of the female body's responses to being pregnant and giving birth. i have never heard of anyone producing milk unless they were pregnant or had a baby.

Answer 2

A woman starts producing milk within a few days of her child being born. Or a miscarriage. She will produce colostrum during her pregnancy and immediatly afterwards. However, some women who adopt babies will make their bodies produce milk by various methods. Mostly pumping with breastpumps and alot of women have to use certian medications to do it too. However, women will continue to produce milk, or lactate, until they stop breastfeeding or pumping. It does not go away at any certian age. It just continues until either the shortly after the child weans, the woman becomes pregnant again (it turns back to colustrum) or some women will dry up. However, I beleive that the mothers age doesn't matter as long as she is old enough to conceive. But if she is either too young or too old, it might affect things.

Answer 3

You start producing milk in the 3rd trimester of your pregnancy and it doesnt come in til 2 or 3 days after the baby is born.

Answer 4

During pregnancy a little. A couple of days after the baby is born when the breasts are stimulated by the nursing infant especially the milk will come in fully.

Girls do not produce breast milk unless they are pregnant. If a girl is leaking from her breasts she may have some kind of infection. Breast milk production does not start until late in the 2nd or early in the 3rd trimester of pregnancy.
