if they are drum brakes then it is just water or condensation in the drum nothing to worry about as the noise is the water drying out

Have you got all-round disk-brakes? Sometimes you can get dust or just plain damp between the break pad and the disc/disk and this can cause a shriek. You hear this a lot with black cabs here in London - it's dust/damp on the disc which makes the noise. If as you say the noise goes after a couple of pumps - no worries. But, I'd get your local motor mechanic to have a look just in case.
If when you press down on your break peddle, it wobbles a bit - this means the disc[s] have worn thin. This can be extremely dangerous and is caused by the vehicle being driven and using the breaks while the pads are worn down. This skuffs the discs making them thin. Hope this is not your problem. It happened to me once years ago. Lucky no crash but it would have been a serious problem up around the ton plus mark - thankfully I was only doing about 50. Cripes mate!

I don't think that you have a problem. That will happen sometimes. The brakes get moisture on them, and when you apply the brakes for the first time in the morning, the condesate will burn off from the heat of the brakes. This will cause a squeak sometimes, once the brakes warm up, the moisture evaporates and then the noise is gone.

Normally over night the brake discs on a car will develop surface rust on the braking surfaces, the first few times you use the brakes the rust is scrapped off and makes the noise you can hear.

take a glance on the offending wheel it must be something elementary, particulary, because it is just one wheel inflicting the problem. I even have had this until eventually now and cured it by using removing the pads cleansing all the factors and smearing an extremely small quantity intense temp copper loaded grease on the steel shims and piston touch factors. despite the fact that, have an excellent look on the disc because of the fact despite the fact that if it is improperly scored or worn this could additionally be the reason. if it is the case new disc and pads would be required.

nothing to worry over...a bit annoying...if the brakes go 'spongy'..or the noise is every time you brake.get it checked would most likely be a good idea

Probably just a build up of brake dust.
Nothing a good service will not cure.

its either water on the brakes drying, probably from condensation, or the brakes expanding because they are cold and when you brake the friction warms em up. shouldnt be anything serious
