Green breast milk is not a reason to panic. Breast milk isn’t always white, and the color can change from one feed to the next. Early milk can look thin and bluish, colostrum is often yellow or orange, and a green tint is usually traced to something you took, like an iron supplement, spirulina, or certain medications and possibly something you ate. In most cases your milk is still doing exactly what it should for your baby. Check in with your provider or a lactation consultant if your milk is pink, red, or black, if the color changed after starting a new medication, or if you have breast pain, redness, or fever.
