Breast milk is 2 different colors depending on what pump I use??
Post Body

Why is my milk 2 different colors tho https://imgur.com/a/zR3T1pu

23f 5'4 180lbs take prenatals and occasionally tylenol. I had my baby 2 ish weeks ago, she was adopted but I am exclusively pumping for the family. I have begun to try to wean from the pump and so far have cut 2 pumping sessions. For the first couple of days after I cut a session, my breast would feel really full and start leaking, so to relieve a little pressure in between sessions, I would use my Haaka silicone manual suction pump (as opposed to my automatic medela double pump that I use for my regular pumping sessions) I've noticed a difference in color and consistency depending on what pump I use. When I use the automatic pump, the milk looks thicker and slightly yellow, but in the Haaka pump the milk seems more watery and white (imgur link above for photo proof) Just wondering why this might be? I have an appointment with my OB late next week so she may have an answer but if y'all could help me out and let me know if this is normal or why it might be happening that would be cool!
