What is transitional milk?
The term describes what it really is: the milk produced after colostrum and before “mature” milk. It is often described as a mix of milk and orange juice. Compared to colostrum, it contains more lactose, fat and calories.
Finally, mature milk!
Mature milk is thin and white in appearance. It usually arrives roughly 10 days after you give birth. Don’t be fooled by its watery appearance! This milk has all the essential goodies your baby needs to grow and develop.
