breast milk?

Hey ladies so this is a weird question but I've been wondering, why is breast milk yellow? I'm 37 weeks tomorrow and I started "leaking" kinda back when I was 22 weeks and it was just clear but now lately if I squeeze them I get the clear stuff still but it always has a yellow color to it as well.

Even once u get ur milk in it will have different stages to it or a lil off white tint. Foremilk is usually pretty clear and goes to hindmilk thicker more like cream has lots of calories and fat in it

It's not breastmilk it's colostrum which is yellow when your milk comes in around three days after birth v of baby it will lose it's yellow tint :)
