My first little bit of pre-milk came out last night. Just a few fractions of some drops, but it was cool. I thought, "Wow, my body is amazing! It's getting ready to feed a baby!" Husband thought it was pretty awesome, too.
The stuff that comes out before the real milk is called colostrum. It's a golden yellow color and it's thicker than milk. I rubbed some between my fingers and it has a consistency more like lotion than water.
It wasn't enough colostrum to leak out and cause a mess. I'm not looking forward to those days. But since I will eventually be a 24-hour all-you-can-eat baby buffet, I guess those days are coming.
