Breastmilk question?

Question

Is it normal for my breastmilk to have a light green tint? Has anyone else experienced this?

Answer 1

Breastmilk can have many tints to it.  It depends on different levels of the vitamins and minerals in it and a number of other compounds that are in it.  There is no wrong or right color for your milk as long as you are healthy.  When to worry is if it looks really off or has a foul odor.    Mine occasionally has a blue tint to it.

Answer 2

Yes!  It's fine.  You probably ate some greens yesterday... it's normal.  Sometimes it looks blue, sometimes yellow, sometimes it looks just like cows milk.  It's all normal :)

Answer 3

It is not unusual for breastmilk to take on a greenish (or other) color.

Changes in the color of your milk are usually related to your diet, herbal remedies, or medications you are taking. Naturally occurring or man-made pigments in your diet can tint your milk. Vitamins or supplements that contain kelp or other forms of seaweed have been reported to cause green milk. Green gatorade can also give your milk a green hue.

I have noticed it in mine too!! I was wondering the same=P

Answer 4

Answer 6

To me, breastmilk look yellowish (especially when frozen) but i dont know what could cause a green tint, call the lactation consultant at a local hospital and ask them.

Answer 7

I don't know about green, but kind of gray.  When it is really thin, like  fore milk when I am engorged.

Maybe ask your Dr., probably just fine though.

Good Luck!
