Colostrum turning to milk before baby is born??

I started collecting colostrum as it was leaking rapidly and causing pain in my breasts, but I’m a bit worried now as it’s gotten lighter and thinner and baby isn’t even here yet! I’ve only done it 3 times (gently and only for 10 minutes at a time) but it’s definitely transitioning to milk and now I’m worried my baby won’t be able to have any Colostrum straight from the breast! My first daughter couldn’t latch for 2 days so I expressed for the first couple of days but I thought it would be useful getting ahead to make sure this baby had enough! It’s gone from bright yellow like egg yolk to a very milky yellow

I leaked lots when expecting DD1, mostly at night. What I leaked varied in “yellowness”, but it did revert to proper colostrum when DD was born. If concerned, ask your midwife, but my personal experience was that this wasn’t an issue,
