Dark green colored milk....help!

by helpless mom
(Singapore)

Hi! I stopped breastfeeding a year ago. Eventually, i found out that one of my nipple openings could express dark green colored milk...whilst the other nipple opening is fine, where the normal color milk comes out...

Is this infection?! Or a plugged duct?! It's a little bit painful when I poke on my breast area, but I'm not experiencing any fever, hot feeling or redness on my breast area...

Is it green or green tinged?

Sometimes something in your diet can change the color of the milk, such as green drinks or large amounts of green vegetables like seaweed. It can also be caused by a multivitamin or prenatal capsule or antibiotics. Have you had a change in your diet?

The fact that it's only one breast and not the other is a little strange but not really cause for concern if it's not painful.

If it's dark green and thicker than normal and your breast is painful, I would recommend you see your doc about it.

by: helpless mom

It's dark green, not tinged green...and the weird part is, only the nipple opening has encountered this condition...

I've even studied some articles...and know that it might be caused by the diet, but when I review my diet...i don't found any high iron or over intake of green colored food. This makes me doubt more.

Even Breastfeeding Mothers Support Group (Singapore) counselor couldn't consult me further about this.

Anyway, I've made an appointment with local women care consultant...hopefully they'll schedule me for ultrasound to know what's the exact cause... till then, I'll update here to share with others

My mom is experiencing the same thing only her true milk hasn't come in yet but now they want her to stop breast feeding and that breaks her heart. Did you ever find out what was going on that it turned that color?
