Default My milk has a green tint

My pumped milk recently looks very thin and has a green tint to it. Should I call my doctor?

what have you been eating? seriously, different foods can tinge your BM. Also milk pumped at different times of day can be different consistencies.

I dont think its anything to worry about. I remember having blue milk alot. Milk can vary alot in color.

Prenatals do this often. If I pumped just an hour or two after taking mine, it would be very green. At other times just a tinge of green.
