Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but is it normal for milk to have a greenish hue? DD is 6 mo & EBF, and I noticed her spit up was greenish. The next day I pumped slightly green milk from just one side. I've never noticed this before, and I don't have any pain or mastitis currently (it doesn't seem like pus). Any thoughts, or is it normal?

If you didn't pump, you'd never know. The color can vary some from day to day - it's nothing to worry about.

Slight discoloration is common.
