Blood in leaking breasts?

Question

I woke up with this on my shirt, I know it’s breast leakage cause it’s a little crispy as it usually is when it dries but this looks like blood was in it? Is this normal?

Answer

Blood in your breast milk can also be caused by rusty pipe syndrome, or vascular engorgement. This results from an increase in blood flow to the breasts shortly after giving birth. Your first milk or colostrum may have a rusty, orange, or pinkish color. ... The bleeding usually disappears within a week of giving birth.

Answer

Is this a pink shirt? It could just be how the shirt color appears when combined with the color of your colostrum, which can be a yellowish color. I’m 28 weeks with #2, and I’m already seeing colostrum, so you can very gently express just enough to par yourself with a tissue to see what color it is. If you’re super worried about it, call your OB’s office & they can probably put your mind at ease.
