This happens to me when I dont pump all day </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-mixed-with-water#post-403082 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 15:43:16 +0000 purrpletulips 403082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My pump bottles have a little water in them every morning and I never think anything of it. My foremilk is also almost always clear. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-mixed-with-water#post-403023 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 14:58:18 +0000 Bao 403023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes my milk looks like water, I wouldn't worry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-mixed-with-water#post-403006 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 14:51:14 +0000 mrs. wagon 403006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pump into damp bottles with condensation in them all the time!! I'm so impatient with letting things air-dry. I'll also put damp nippes on top of her bottles. I figure there's water in breastmilk, so as long as it's not "bad" water, she'll be fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-mixed-with-water#post-402999 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 14:46:21 +0000 T.H.O.U. 402999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't worry about it. When I used to pump, I obviously pumped both sides but then consolidated to one bottle and rinsed the other one out. I used the rinsed one at my next session even though it was never 100% dry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-mixed-with-water#post-402993 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 14:45:00 +0000 pastemoo 402993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: If you're worried freeze it to save after LO is 4 months. (or 6 if your ped waits till 6 for solids)<br /> @kiddosc is right. It should be fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-mixed-with-water#post-402985 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 14:41:11 +0000 kiddosc 402985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometime in the mornings my foremilk is almost clear. Once your hindmilk mixes in it probably will look fine. If it's just condensation, I wouldn't think it's a significant amount of water and wouldn't be worried. I've pumped into damp bottles before. I figure he sucks the water off of his washcloth in the bath, a little bit of water in his bottle isn't going to hurt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-mixed-with-water#post-402979 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 14:39:32 +0000 matador84 402979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10 weeks. its just a little bit in the bottle but it looks totally clear...I'm like what the heck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-mixed-with-water#post-402976 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 14:37:52 +0000 pastemoo 402976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How old is your baby? How much milk vs water?<br /> Most likely you're fine unless your LO has failure to thrive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-mixed-with-water#post-402971 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 14:35:41 +0000 matador84 402971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sitting here pumping and I look down and notice the bottles must not have 100% dried all the way last night before I stuck them in my bag because there is condensation and some water. The breastmilk is like clear!!! AHHHH! Should I be worried? </p>
