It looks like egg yolk! I expected yellow tinted milk 😂 this was in my breast shells after a breast massage until starting to leak then an hour of breast shell wearing!

Yep. Mine was! Its different from milk. Milk comes later and is whiter. They are different things entirely.

Yup!

Thank you! Trying to collect some with stimulating too much, only 35 weeks but keep having labour symptoms, if she does come early I’d like a little stash for her!

Yup! That’s why it’s called liquid gold!

I’m yes. I had to pump for DD when she was brand new and in the hospital and I couldn’t believe the colour- I didn’t realise it was colostrum at the time I just thought it was always like that! Went normal white coloured after a while!

That should have just been yes, not I’m yes
