Yellow discharge colostrum is the thick, yellowish fluid produced by the breasts during late pregnancy and shortly after childbirth. It is rich in nutrients, antibodies, and proteins, providing essential immunological support to newborns. This early milk is typically produced before the mature breast milk comes in and serves to help protect infants from infections and diseases during their first days of life. The color and consistency of colostrum can vary, but it generally indicates a healthy breastfeeding initiation.

Why am you leaking a small amount of colostrum but definitely not pregnant?

If you are not pregnant, then it is not colostrum - it is "nipple discharge." Nipple discharge is one of the more common reasons that women go to see their gynecologists, and can be caused by many different things. Some harmless, some not. It is important, therefore - to see your doctor, particularly if it becomes discolored (yellow, green, or bloody).

Yes. Colostrum is typically a range of colors from clear to yellow to white. The golden spots you are seeing just meant the "ingredients" are different and your colostrum is likely maturing. If you are 4-6 weeks from birth, you're getting the mature colostrum that will provide your baby much needed antibodies, vitamins and nourishment.

Is it possible to squeeze milk from your nipples during PMS?

Milk is only produced in a womans breasts after she has given birth. Colostrum is produced during the third trimester of pregnancy. During PMS, you can not squeeze milk from your nipples. Nipple discharge which is white or clear in colour is usually harmless and means there is a build up of progesterone. You will need to see your doctor to be certain about this though. Rusty coloured discharge, bloody discharge and yellow/green discharge is usually infection or more serious.

What does it mean when you discharge yellow?

Normal discharge varies for each woman. Generally, slightly yellow, white, and clear discharge is normal. The color and consistency of discharge can change depending on where a woman is in her cycle. However, if yellow discharge is abnormal for you, it could be a sign of infection. Bacterial vaginosis is most commonly associated with a yellow or green colored discharge and can also cause some itching around the vaginal area. It is important to make an appointment with your doctor to be properly diagnosed, as some infections require antibiotics.
