It has a tiny hint of blue if its only fore milk.... My pumping has been really off lately.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-color#post-553265 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 01:18:49 +0000 jetsettermomma 553265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anbanan15, same here... noticed that when I pump runnier milk it tends to be bluish but when it's the rich, creamy kind, it's more yellowish. Once, I had so much fat in my milk that most of it solidified like butter! Haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-color#post-79245 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 16:03:14 +0000 anbanan15 79245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine has been more bluish lately, but I think the change cab be atributed to my diet. It's also more like skim milk which is either from the diet or the fact that DS is getting older and doesn't need as much fat from my milk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-color#post-24083 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 23:02:18 +0000 His Barista 24083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. D: Me either. It will be interesting to see what color mine turns out to be once Baby Barista is here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-color#post-24076 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 22:52:56 +0000 cupcakemama 24076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is always on the yellow spectrum. Blue would be cool! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-color#post-24071 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 22:48:35 +0000 cyndistar3 24071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As far as I remember mine was always yellowish. I had no idea it could be blue haha... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-color#post-24060 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 22:36:21 +0000 mrsjyw 24060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: ditto, BLUE? I feel wiser today. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-color#post-24056 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 22:33:46 +0000 BSB 24056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I learned something new today. I didn't know breast milk could be blue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-color#post-23994 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 20:18:12 +0000 Rubies 23994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine sometimes has a blue-ish tint to it. I've also had pink milk the first day I was on antibiotics for mastitis. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-color#post-23902 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 17:34:20 +0000 geekinheels 23902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is usually creamy white, but I have had pink (blood from cracked nipples or broken capillaries inside the breast), as well as purple! (This was when I was using gentian violet to treat thrush.)</p> <p>As for blue, mine sometimes takes on a faint bluish tint in the beginning, but will turn creamy white after a few hours in the frige...so, the opposite of Bee. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-color#post-23661 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 11:47:58 +0000 mynoahbear 23661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My BM was yellowish at first but after a couple weeks, it was more a creamy off white color. I always saw other moms dropping off their milk in the NICU and their milk looked really yellow and I thought that was weird but I guess it's normal. I didn't know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-color#post-23659 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 11:45:18 +0000 Boogs 23659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted other because I have both colors! When it comes out it's usually yellow, but occasionally comes out blue. Also, like Mrs. Bee it usually turns blue in the fridge. It's not smurf blue or anything, it just has a slight hint of blue. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-color#post-23657 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 11:44:53 +0000 LivsMama 23657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOL the first time I got the blue I was like AHHHHHHHHHHH WHATS WRONG WITH ME!!!!!! and immediately went to Google lol. It all tastes the same though. Sorry TMI </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-color#post-23656 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 11:43:57 +0000 SAHM0811 23656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>interesting. with my first it definitely was on the yellow side. This time around it usually just stays white, but that's probably because we don't leave it in the fridge for long at all. she always gets really fresh milk and usually straight from the source. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-color#post-23651 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 11:38:30 +0000 Lozza 23651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>IT CAN BE BLUE?!?!</p> <p>I'm so jealous! I want to make blue food! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-color#post-23631 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 11:20:38 +0000 themcmom 23631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: Mine always has a yellowish tinge to it. Sometimes it's more noticable than others. I really notice it when I'm pouring extra milk into my milk freezer tray and different pumping sessions are side by side.</p> <p>@Mrs. Bee: A day old to be blue? I'm checking my milk when I get home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-color#post-23626 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 11:18:10 +0000 Mrs. Bee 23626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ok i just took a look at my milk and it has to be at least a day old for it to turn blue. right now it's yellow.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-color#post-23624 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 11:16:50 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 23624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have never heard of it being different colors - neat! Can it change from one pump session to the next? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-color#post-23620 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 11:12:33 +0000 Mrs. D 23620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Until this post I had no idea Breast Milk wasn't always a creamy colour. I wonder what colour mine will be? Weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-color#post-23618 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 11:09:42 +0000 Mrs. Bee 23618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>it was blue with both charlie and olive. i'm so used to it, it's something i didn't even think about. interesting topic! wonder if anyone else has blue milk.... you know what? i'm going to take a picture haha... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-color#post-23614 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 11:07:18 +0000 themcmom 23614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: You're making the blue food! <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l04dn8Msm-Y" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l04dn8Msm-Y</a></p> <p>@LivsMama: You mean I have a chance of making blue milk? Sweet! It's the most random thing which excite me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-color#post-23610 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 11:04:09 +0000 LivsMama 23610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is typpically creamy white, maybe a hint of yellow, but just the other day I had one session of blue. It was so weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-color#post-23599 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 10:57:20 +0000 Mrs. Bee 23599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>mine takes on a bluish tint when it's in the fridge. freaky! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-color#post-23596 Tue, 29 Nov 2011 10:54:32 +0000 themcmom 23596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So my husband and I were talking right after I gave birth that breastmilk can be yellowish or bluish. We both were hoping that mine was blue, but alas, it's yellow. What color is yours?</p> <p>A quick check with Dr. Goolge says breastmilk can be several diffferent colors. </p>
