It's called colostrum or pre-milk. It's full of nutrients that your baby can utilize if you breastfeed. You body doesn't make much, but your baby only needs about a teaspoon. It will help him/her pass his/her first bowel movement. Interesting, huh? :)

It may not be milk...yet. The first liquid a baby drinks is not br east milk, it's actually another liquid (forget the name) that is made up mostly of proteins and antibodies. It may be that. I also leaked before my babies were born. It's normal, don't worry.
