Breastfeeding begins right after birth. Ideally, nursing should start within the first hour, as this supports milk production and takes advantage of your baby's strongest sucking reflex at this time. The first thick, yellowish milk is called colostrum and is extremely valuable for your baby — it strengthens immunity. By days 2-5 after birth, milk volume increases and transitions to mature milk. So breastfeeding is a process that starts with delivery.
