6 magical ways that breast milk changes to meet your baby’s needs 🙌 worldbreastfeedingweek
2. Breast milk changes during growth spurts and illnesses
While mature milk remains fairly consistent in terms of its proteins, fat and sugar content during that first year, it can be quite responsive to micro-level changes due to factors like the mother’s diet, bacteria and viruses in the environment, and the baby’s feeding behaviours. Teresa Pitman, a La Leche League leader and co-author ofnotes that a baby will nurse frequently for several days during a growth spurt which helps to increase the fat content in the milk.
The only change to take note of is when breast milk is pink, red or rusty, which could indicate blood in your milk from damaged nipples or other issues deeper in the breast. It’s totally fine for your baby, but it’s a good idea to get checked out, says Pickett. At the very least, a lactation consultant can help sort out and fix what’s causing the nipple trauma. It’s especially important to see aor doctor if there’s blood in your milk but your nipples are OK.
