What is the first milk a mother produces?

A mothers body will produce colostrum, a nutrient-rich "pre-milk," for the first few days after there baby is born. Colostrum contains a number of advantages, including nutrients that support a baby's immune system and prevent infection. Colostrum is thick and yellowish for certain women. It's thin and watery for others.
