timing.. boobs getting ready?..

This might be a TMI type answer but the question is: When are my boobs going to finally get ready for breast feeding? They've gotten some what bigger and darker but other than that there's no change! I'm 6m

Some people don't get larger breast until after birth, when your milk comes in. Milk usually comes in anywhere between 2-6 days after birth. The first milk baby will get is called colostrum, you start producing this while pregnant. It can be clear, off white, yellow or orange in color and it's the most nutrient rich and best for baby. The more you breast feed in the beginning the faster your milk will come in.
