Watery Breast Milk

I mixed mine a lot to even it out. As long as the 'other' milk wasn't too old, there was no problem with mixing them and making a couple meals out of it. You've got liquid gold, so I know what you're saying about not wasting it. Infants are all different, but some might not drink the watery stuff if it doesn't taste like what he's used to. Better to mix it with thicker stuff, I think.

just keep it as usual. It is full of carbohydrates and protein. will make an excellent meal for your baby. One could argue that the better milk comes first, because that is what the baby gets first and fills up on :)

I keep everything and usually mix it all in a container in the fridge anyway and freeze whenever I have an extra six ounces. (Not too hard since I usually get 7 or more on once side, but I let the extras stay in the fridge and mix them the next time I pump.) I would either mix it with something or freeze it as is--as you say, it is the good stuff. :)

What about freezing it and saving it for mixing cereal with when baby starts solids?

I remember getting watery and light blue milk once in a while too...I just figured it was from something I ate, like blueberries or red cabbage....I recommend not wasting it, just mix it and serve it.

I would just use it "as is," there is nothing wrong with the milk at all. You can mix it with some higher fat hind milk, but don't feel like you have to. Sometimes all a baby wants is a bit of milk to quench their thirst anyway. As far as funny colored milk, I had to take Fenugreek to make any milk at all at first with my first baby, and it turned the milk an orangish yellow color! When my husband gave her a bottle of it he said "drink your orange juice" that is what it looked like! But it was totally safe for her to drink.

Just hang on to it and do like the other mom said of mixing it with cereal when the baby is ready for solids. Although straight up foremilk can give baby an upset tummy, make him/her gassy, and colicky. I had an oversupply problem with my first. He got nothing but foremilk most of the time until I got it under control, so I can attest to this!

Keep it! As long as your baby doesn't seem hungry after feeding then the milk is just fine.

This happened to me every so often and I always just assumed that is was from a lack of fat in my own diet. But when I did get this I would just mix it with some fattier breastmilk just to be sure that it was rich enough for my little one.
