7143736 tn?1396242800 Hey ladies so this is a weird question but I've been wondering, why is breast milk yellow? I'm 37 weeks tomorrow and I started "leaking" kinda back when I was 22 weeks and it was just clear but now lately if I squeeze them I get the clear stuff still but it always has a yellow color to it as well.
Avatar n tn If so then yes, you can leak milk during foreplay. The hormone that releases all the milk is called oxytocin and it's the same hormone that's released when you climax and have an orgasm. If you aren't breastfeeding and you are leaking milk then I would suggest you go to the doctor and get a checkup. You may have a benign tumor on your pituitary that's making you produce milk when you shouldn't.
Avatar f tn It isn't breast milk, it's colostrum. Colostrum is either clear, milky, orange or yellow in color and you produce it the entire time you are pregnant and a few days after birth until you get your real milk in.
Avatar f tn I'm 34 weeks and a soon to be first time mommy and I was sitting watching tv in my room alone and I felt wet and I looked at my shirt and it had a wet mark. Out of curiosity I pinched squeezed whatever and this clearish light light brown color came out and idk if that's breast milk coming out or???? And that color comes out of my right breast and when I pinch my left nipple it comes out a little bit clearer..
1985448 tn?1339821862 I know that it could be colostrum but with my first pregnancy my pre-milk was a thick white color which I knew was normal but the yellow really freaked me out and I am wondering if it is normal or possibly an infection. Also I breastfed my DD till she was 14months (her current age) maybe that has something to do with the color change?
Avatar f tn I think you would have been wise to see about this long before you lost your health insurance. As a rule, breast discharge is no particular cause for concern but since the color has changed and has been this way for 3 months it would be a good idea to see your Dr. especially if the discharge is present WITHOUT stimulation.

Avatar f tn Some people don't get larger breast until after birth, when your milk comes in. Milk usually comes in anywhere between 2-6 days after birth. The first milk baby will get is called colostrum, you start producing this while pregnant. It can be clear, off white, yellow or orange in color and it's the most nutrient rich and best for baby. The more you breast feed in the beginning the faster your milk will come in.

Avatar f tn Im only 7w 4d along and Im still breast feeding my 9 month old. My milk is a yellow color because Im producing colostrum? I dont know about that. Colostrum usually comes right before baby is born or right after. Im confused. From my understanding our milk changes as our baby gets older to suite to there needs. The question here is if we are still breast feeding our baby would the milk we pump be good for the baby, as it has changed so much?
Avatar n tn about a week ago i was being curious about still having milk in my breast and squeezed my nipple and a green goo came out of one breast i squeezed the other and it came out normal clear cream. i stoped nursing about 3.5 years ago but still have milk coming out is this normal. the green goo kind of scared me though.
Avatar m tn Four months ago I had my first mammogram at 43 and the found abnormal tissue in my right breast. I went for a biopsy and it was found to be fine no cancer cells but today I notice my right breast was a little damp as I laid across my bed so I squeezed mt breast and a yellowish green fluid came out. Should i be worried?
Avatar f tn You don't get breast milk in until 2-6 days after you give birth. First thing that is produced is colostrum, which is clear, milky, orange or yellow in color. That is the nutrient rich and thick stuff baby gets first. The more baby breast feeds the more your body will make the milk. Breast size doesn't matter in production of milk, you should make milk just fine. But you do need to drink a lot of water to produce enough breast milk. So keep hydrated after you give birth.
Avatar f tn Some people might say it's dumb of me toask but I'm a first time mom question: okay since i don't drink milk That's why my breast ain't leaking milk ?
Avatar f tn jayfran, your breast milk comes in after the baby is born. A lot of women produce very heavy amounts of colostrum and the color may vary to very think whitish, but it's not breast milk. Colostrum is the first nutrition the baby gets by mouth - and the milk comes in after the baby is born. It may seem like your milk has come in, but it doesn't come until later. You may want to google this question or better yet ask your doctor.
Avatar f tn when ever i feel arouse or press my breast i get milk droplets from my right breast. Its happening since few years. Recently when i had sex with my bf he played with my breast and noticed milk droplet when he pressed my right breast. Is it any hormonal imbalance or any other disease?
Avatar f tn Ladies when did your breast start leaking colostrum? What does it look like? Lol & not to be weird but what does it taste like?& did you have problems with them leaking?
4131681 tn?1350118297 Try using some warm compresses on that test and see if you can gently express some milk. Get something white and express some milk on it and look at the color. Are the other teats inflamed? Do you know how to take a temp with a rectal thermometer? Is the mom eating and drinking? If this is mastitis, you can end up with a sick dog and puppies and better consult a Vet.
Avatar f tn Yes. I got it from week 20 or something..
7852077 tn?1408417905 Have any mother's put there who decided to breast feed ever used the breast pump before the baby got here. For example if you pumped milk out your breasts and froze it til the baby came into world? Just curious. Sitting here putting my breast pump together.
4654011 tn?1357643122 Mine don't hurt or anything o heared if u have small boobs they probably won't grow or have milk until I deliver ur baby ...
Avatar m tn As I stated before, suggest giving your child the daily amounts of food that I wrote in the previous answer. If you are giving him milk as breast milk, then give it in the amounts stated. Your child is underweight and needs to grow. Food is the only way he will grow. The problem with his eye maybe only a muscular issue not diet related.
