Breast milk changes in response to the baby's needs. These samples are from the same mother, taken 3 days apart. In the meantime, the infant was sick and breastfeeding continually. Immune factors are now so abundant that they changed the color of the milk.

A simple version is to just listen to mothers - really listen - and base our responses accordingly. It's not an either/or situation. And it's definitely not a judgement on others who make different decisions; it's not just about the milk, it's about her & her body. And that's ok
