Colostrum is that first, thick milk that comes for a few days after birth—it is full of goodness for the baby. The fuller milk comes in later, maybe on the third or fourth day. The supply is regulated by how much is taken out; more feeding or pumping tells the body to make more. I learned this clearly with our daughter, as my wife had to return to her teaching job early, so I was the one managing the pumped milk each evening, and I saw how a regular schedule kept the supply steady.
