A. No, my question is different. Does one breast milk contain more water and other less?

A. Breast milk is up to 90% water. The colostrum is usually rich in water, lactose, and protein, so it is clearer and looks thinner. As for milk secreted after feeding, it is rich in fat and micro-minerals, so it will look thicker.
