O I am making a small freezer stash but I have a quick ??? The first 2 days I pumped the milk (about 1.5oz for each day) is very yellow and the rest of the milk ive frozen is white... Is the yellow milk safe? Or should I toss them? I'm not sure why there is such a color difference

breastmilk can change colors based on a number of different factors. the ped. i had for my son told me that mother's milk tea turned hers GREEN. it's fine, it won't hurt her. if you hadn't pumped it, the baby would have drank it and you would never know

Yeah, my milk changed colors depending on what I was eating.

Yup, just something you ate probably. Just remind yourself that if you had been directly nursing, you never would have known, so no biggie!

How old is your LO? Could the yellow milk be colostrum?
