When does breast milk turn white?

The first milk that comes right after birth is "colostrum" (first milk) and is yellowish-orange in color. Typically 3-5 days after birth, the milk color starts turning white—this is called the transition to "mature milk." The timing varies by a few days for each mother and is completely normal. Rather than focusing on color, frequent breastfeeding throughout the first week is what matters most.
