Home Forums Induced Lactation aka Adoptive Breastfeeding Medical Interventions to Induce Lactation/Increase Milk Supply Started pumping, milk is yellow?

Hi there. I just started pumping today, and am happy that I have had enough milk to save each time (not a lot, but more than I expected!). But....the milk is decidedly not what I read that it would be - I read that it would start clear and turn opaque white. It is thick and yellow - it looks like colostrum. Is this a problem/issue?

i am still on the protocol and have 2 more weeks on yasmin and i try squeezing a few drops manually every day and on one side i get a clear drop with yellow swirls, the other side is white...if you get any answer i would love to know as well

The yellow milk is very normal. It isn't actually colustrum, but it starts thicker and yellowish and will slowly change to more thin and white.
