A new mum has shared how her breast milk actually turned orange so as to better fit the needs of her congested four-week-old daughter. Rebecca Price, 31, says she's been breastfeeding her baby since giving birth, and her milk is usually a pastel yellow shade, however, she recently noticed a fascinating change.
After her newborn became congested, Rebecca's milk turned orange, leaving the breastfeeding "newbie" amazed by just how clever the human body really is. In what can often prove to be a bit of a surprise for new mums, breast milk may also turn blue, pink, green, or beige, in accordance with their baby's needs.
As well as keeping little ones well fed, breastmilk also offers all-important antibodies passed from mother to child, helping to protect against illnesses and infections.
