Green milk
A few days ago I started feeling so sick. Eventually I started having diarrhea and throwing up. My mom watched the baby for me because I was so weak and didn’t want to get them sick. Of course I still had to pump so I did and I thought I was okay to give the baby my milk but I noticed how green it was an my mom said I probably shouldn’t and just give her formula until I’m feeling better. Has this happened to anyone? Is it ok to feed baby?

the green color could be caused from you being sick but it shouldn’t affect still be safe
I was told milk changes different shades based on mom and baby needs. Its still safe to give and boost the baby immune system to whatever you had
@Elektra I didn’t even think to smell/ taste it thanks
I was told by my midwife that especially when being sick it’s good to breastfeed the baby to boost their immune system just like @Kaye said. So definitely don’t throw it away.
All of the above! Label it as “sick”, too. My lactation consultant said that giving “sick” milk is totally fine & can help improve baby’s immune system. Check either your pediatrician and/or IBCLC to make sure that’s good advice for you & your baby!

if it doesn’t taste or smell funny it should be okay
