What's with the yellow milk?

Question

Just pulled this bag out of the freezer and thawed it. Anyone have an idea why the layer on top is yellow? I'm sure it's fat, but I've never seen this color before...

Answer

When did you pump it? Early on shortly after birth your milk is more yellow from increase colostrum. Milk in the morning is different from milk in the evening. Milk at 3 months is different than milk at 6 months. Breastmilk is constantly changing

From KellyMom:

Breastmilk can be thin and watery looking, and may have a blue or yellow tint to it. It can even take on a hint of green, orange or other color if mother has been eating lots of green foods, or other colored foods, especially those with dye, such as green Gatorade. The color of the milk is usually not anything to be concerned about however it’s always good to check with a breastfeeding professional to be sure.

Answer

I read that it gets like that when you or the baby are sick. Not a bad thing it though, antibodies.

Answer

Thanks for the info! I pumped it about two months ago when my little man was 6 months old.
