Colostrum does vary in colour from clear to fairly dark yellow.  Does
"dark" could mean dark yellow, or a completely different colour
altogether?  If it is brown, it might contain some old blood, which may
occur from bleeding from a duct.  In any case, the nurse had no right to
throw away the colostrum.  What a bloody nerve!  Even if the colostrum
contained blood, this would not be a concern for the baby.
