I'm wondering if this is colostrum. I read somewhere that colostrum is a yellowish liquid. Can it be a clear liquid as well.
Mine has been clear... but, and this is embarrassing to admit, I wanted to be sure my breast pump worked last weekend and the clear liquid quickly turned into to orangish/yellowish colostrum. So apparently it starts out clear at each nursing session and then changes after baby has been feeding for a minute or so (because I seriously wasn't testing my breast pump for very long! )

Just a word to the wise: Don't use your breast pump again before baby comes! It can start contractions
