It's called colostrum or pre-milk. It can be clear off-white or even yellow. 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? :)

Im a mother of 5 and the youngest is 9 months, Ive just started to wean her off the breast, all the answers so far are correct about the colostrum..thats the milk that will attract the baby to the breast, its very sweet, Once baby has started nursing the milk will gradually change - some woman notice their milk is very very thick and dark white almost yellowish and others say it looks too watery
Foremilk is the milk (typically lower in fat) available at the beginning of a feeding; hindmilk is milk at the end of a feeding, which has a higher fat content than the foremilk at that feeding. There is no sharp distinction between foremilk and hindmilk – the change is very gradual. fat content of the milk is primarily determined by the emptiness of the breast -- the less milk in the breast, the higher the fat content

yes its light yellow called cholustrum(spellings)
Question: What's colostrum?
Answer: Colostrum is the first milk your breasts produce during pregnancy. Most mothers don't even know it's there unless they leak a bit toward the end of the pregnancy. Your body starts making it about three to four months into pregnancy, and it may leak from your breasts while you're pregnant.
What colostrum lacks in volume it makes up for in power. Some people refer to colostrum as "high octane" milk. It's full of antibodies and immunoglobulins, which not only help protect newborns as they come into our world of bacteria and viruses, but also has a laxative effect that helps them expel the tarry first stools called meconium.
When you feed your baby colostrum, which may appear as clear fluid or be a deep golden color, it's as though you're giving him his first vaccination. Someone once estimated that if human colostrum could be commercially manufactured with all the same antibodies and immunoglobulins in it, it would cost somewhere around $80 an ounce.
