Colostrum?

[megsmeadow]

Hey everyone, I was just wondering what color/consistency colostrum is? I've had some discharge which was very watery looking before, but now there is a mix of like a dark yellow/orangey substance too. Just wondered if I should be concerned or not? Sorry maybe TMI! Thanks!

Colostrum is yellowy. You shouldnt be concerned at all! Your body is doing what it was made to do

Its really sweet too! Yes I tasted it..

 

[Mervs Mum]

Yes it's mega sweet isnt it!

 

[megsmeadow]

phew! Thanks girls! It's just on the left side up until now, I'm hoping the right side will catch on too after the surgery I had. Very reassuring though. Rosie's Mummy you tasted it? I suppose people drink their own wee so breast milk is like gourmet recycling

Haha MM Im glad you did too, now I dont feel like a freakoid! I would never drink my wee though - not even with the promise of eternal youth!

I like your honesty! No I think it'd have to be one of those life or death situations before I'd consider drinking my own wee. But now it's socially acceptable to taste breast milk I'm going to have to try it, you know to confirm that it is that sweet! I might have to wait a while though!
