I know, I was so sad when I pumped for 27 straight minutes this morning and only got one ounce out. I wonder if something wasn't connected properly and it wasn't on full suction. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-broken#post-1201635 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 11:44:26 +0000 rachiecakes 1201635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StrawberryBee: my milk was always blue/watery :( I was so super stressed pumping at work.<br /> My mantra was "I can only do what I can do"<br /> LC suggested I eat more Snickers bars though! hehe </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-broken#post-1201577 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 11:33:24 +0000 StrawberryBee 1201577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I fed her on the right side and tried pumping the left, but only got an ounce out. Left side is starting to look a little less like milk-colored water :). Thanks bees! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-broken#post-1201550 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 11:27:21 +0000 mrskc 1201550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StrawberryBee: did you feed her on the right side this morning? I find the side DS didn't nurse off of usually looks more watery because there is more fore milk I think. I wouldn't worry about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-broken#post-1201546 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 11:26:56 +0000 MamaMoose 1201546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did LO nurse on only the right this morning? I'm guessing she just cleaned out your foremilk on that side, but the left side still has a lot of foremilk that you built up through the night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-broken#post-1201543 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 11:26:20 +0000 lizzywiz 1201543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not this specific thing, but tons of other weird stuff during breastfeeding. One suddenly engorging, or both randomly being full or empty at weird times. Blue-ish, yellow-ish, green-ish milk.<br /> Our body is a crazy, crazy thing!<br /> I started to just accept however the 'girls' performed that day and figured it one go back to normal eventually and it always did! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-broken#post-1201540 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 11:25:36 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1201540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If its just for one day or one pumping session I wouldn't worry about it! But if it goes on too long maybe look at addressing it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-broken#post-1201537 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 11:24:49 +0000 Rubies 1201537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This has happened every now and then. Can you pump the watery side longer and see if you produce something creamier? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-broken#post-1201526 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 11:23:22 +0000 StrawberryBee 1201526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pumping at work, and it's been about four hours since I fed her (6:30am this morning, started pumping at 11am). Both sides seem to be producing the same amount of milk. The left side is coming in very blue/watery. The right side is coming in very yellowy-creamy. So basically (I am assuming) I have a lot more fat in the right side.</p> <p>I'm unbalanced (in more ways than one lol). Help! has this ever happened to anyone else? </p>
