Family Forum / Pregnancy / Breastfeeding / February 2005Blue milk...
Now, if this had happened when my monkey was still being fed through a tube, I'd be freaking out, but as I'm only pumping to relieve engorgement at work, I'm not so worried. When I pump, my milk is coming out blue. Think gorgeous sunny afternoon sky.... Why? I have pictures of milk from today (now frozen and a lot less blue) and milk from a week ago (also frozen) located here: http://photobucket.com/albums/v308/alena_norton/milk/ Any ideas? > Now, if this had happened when my monkey was still being fed through a > tube, I'd be freaking out, but as I'm only pumping to relieve engorgement [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Any ideas? Looks like perfectly normal foremilk to me. Low fat content explains the blue color. If you pumped longer or more often, it might look a bit different.

She said she'd shifted from pumping for production to pumping to relieve pressure. Jenrose > She said she'd shifted from pumping for production to pumping to relieve > pressure. Ohhh, I missed that. Makes sense. JennP. >> Looks like perfectly normal foremilk to me. Low fat content >> explains the blue color.

She could have done what I did and put all the milk from one day into one bag. I had loads of 200ml bags of blue milk... Have you eaten a lot of blueberries or similar lately? I know when you eat carrots your milk can turn orange - that's the only thing I can think of!! > Now, if this had happened when my monkey was still being fed through a tube, > I'd be freaking out, but as I'm only pumping to relieve engorgement at work, [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Any ideas? > Any ideas? I agree it looks like foremilk with no fat in it. Alissa i remember when i was nursing (3 years ago) things that i ate caused my milk (esp.the foremilk) to change colors and even smells changed - example would be fennel that turned it green! anne > > Any ideas? > I agree it looks like foremilk with no fat in it. > Alissa correction- sorry that should have been fenugreek and not fennel! > Now, if this had happened when my monkey was still being fed through a tube, > I'd be freaking out, but as I'm only pumping to relieve engorgement at work, [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Any ideas? It's low-fat foremilk. The blue tint is from riboflavin, normally camouflaged by yellow, creamy butterfat. Richard Micaela's dad |
