colostrum

The colostrum - A thick, yellowish fluid that is produced by the breasts during the first few days after childbirth, before being replaced by breast milk.

Colostrum contains less fat and sugar, but more minerals and protein, than breast milk. It also has a high content of lymphocytes (white blood cells) and immunoglobulins, which help to protect the baby against infections.
