I had been dealin with a on and off clogged duct thr past two weeks and tonight, I pumped as usual at midnight but when I looked down afterward that one bottle had pink milk. I've never pumped a pink bottle before, even during my monthlong (*shudders*) stint of mastitis. I know if I were just nursing that V would have drank it and I would be none the wiser, but should I still freeze this, dump it or try to use it the next few days?

I froze pink milk just the same when I had a plugged duct. Same reasoning as you, that LO would have drank it anyway if I had nursed him and I didn't want to waste any hard-earned milk! I just didn't send it to day care.. Would have have been embarrassing to explain

Lol I'm just waiting for DH's reaction when he sees the "strawberry milk" in the fridge this morning! Good to hear that you froze it too. I thought it would be fine too but just wanted some reassurance. Oh and I gotta remember not to give that to my mom when she watches V - yesterday she defrosted and didn't give V a bag of defrosted milk cause the milk fat looked too yellow (?!) but I assured her it was fine. If my mom saw pink milk she might lose it!

The pink is probably from some blood from your nipples. It's perfectly fine for Lo to drink pink milk!

yeah, after one of my clogged milk ducts my milk had blood in it, and i only noticed because LO spits-up all the time.....googled it and found it is normal after a clog
