A member asked:
Is brown liquid that leaks from my nipples colostrum?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: Colostrum is usually a clear or slightly cloudy fluid from the nipples present in a mother only for the first few days after delivering her baby. Your discharge should be evaluated by a physician.
