After delivery it takes 2 or 3 days till the milk lets down. Until then, the baby is drinking colustrum which is an extremely nourishing substance with a lot of antibodies in it.

You may start producing colostrum (clear, greasy milk) when you're about 20wks pregnant. Your white "milk" won't come in until about the 2-3rd day post-partum with proper nipple stimulation (baby or pump)
