Saying that there is no initialization but then talking about a initiation message may cause some confusion. I'm wondering if these two statements are conflicting. Are there any initialization messages in a BMP session?
Once a connection is established, the router sends messages over it. There is no initialization or handshaking phase, messages are simply sent as soon as the connection is established.
Once the session is up, the router begins to send BMP messages. It MUST begin by sending an Initiation message.

Abstract
This document defines a protocol, BMP, that can be used to monitor
BGP sessions. BMP is intended to provide a convenient interface for
obtaining route views. Prior to introduction of BMP, screen-scraping
was the most commonly-used approach to obtaining such views. The
design goals are to keep BMP simple, useful, easily implemented, and
minimally service-affecting. BMP is not suitable for use as a
routing protocol.
