just found a message from another baby web site,
but i am not sure it is true or not.
What does breastmilk look like? Breastmilk can be thin and watery looking, and may have a blue or yellow tint to it. It can even take on a hint of green, orange or other color if mother has been eating lots of green foods, or other colored foods, especially those with dye, such as green gatoraide. The color of the milk is usually not anything to be concerned about however it's always good to check with a breastfeeding professional to be sure. It does not always look the same because breastmilk changes it's composition throughout the feedings, as well as throughout the day. As baby grows, breastmilk continues to change to meet the needs for optimal growth, at each stage of baby's development . This means that mom's breastmilk at four months is perfectly suited to the needs of her four month old baby, and at six months, perfectly suited for her six month old./t=$
Expressed breastmilk will seperate when stored in refrigerator. This can be a real shock to anyone who is not aware that this is normal. Sometimes there is a thick later of "cream" or fat on top, other times a thin layer. Sometimes the milk looks lumpy, or clumpy, and sometimes it can be nearly clear toward the bottom of the bottle. All of the above are completely normal occurances, and does not mean the milk has spoiled. Spoiled milk has a distinct sour smell. The picture here shows an example of what normal breastmilk may look like. When ready to offer to the baby, one needs only to remove from fridge and gently swirl the milk in a gentle "tornado-like" fashion to remix it. Warm water run over the sides of the bottle will help when the thicker parts stick to the sides of the bottle. NOTE: Never shake breastmilk to mix! Shaking can damage the milk, and is not recommended!
