Producing colostrum/milk during pregnancy?

I had colostrum from about 16 weeks pg with DS, but this time, because I've just stopped feeding him, I'm still producing tiny amounts of actual milk.

Will colostrum happen later?

I can still get milk and I stopped (or rather ds did)b/feedikng in April/May!
Apparently it will all adjust itself automatically for the new babe.

Marvellous isn't it?
I tell you,without being facetious,b/feeding is second only in the 'wow' stakes to actually giving birth!

It's incredible - I was looking at a pic of DS when he was about 14 weeks old the other day and thinking how amazing it was he'd only had milk to drink that had been produced (often with considerable discomfort!) by me in all those weeks. He was such a little chubster then too - rolls round his wrists and big plump cheeks

All my own work
