Nursing mothers know: breast milk may change slightly. That it is bright white, then yellowish. It is thick or translucent with a slightly bluish tinge. But none of the moms clearly expect to see bright pink milk from their breasts. So imagine what horror a young mother from Australia experienced when she suddenly poured milk of strawberry color. “I almost started a heart attack,” said a woman in a group of nursing mothers. And so that the young mother was not taken for a mad woman, she published a photo of pink expressed milk, which shocked other nursing and impressionable women: women immediately decided that blood was flowing from the chest.
A photo: Breastfeeders in Australia / Facebook An Australian (she asked not to give her name) said that during the next feeding, her 16-month-old daughter suddenly began to behave strangely. - More, more! - the baby began to demand. And then the mother noticed that the milk of bright pink color was flowing from her breast. The woman must be panicking. But having calmed down, she suddenly understood why the natural product suddenly acquired such an unnatural color. It turned out that the day before she had eaten a sandwich with beets, washed down with a beet juice. I finished the meal with the remains of canned beets, which she occasionally had a snack during the day.

An explanation was immediately found for the unusual behavior of the daughter - beet juice made the breast milk sweeter. So the baby demanded an extra portion of dessert. Experts reassure: beet milk is not harmful for the child at all. Moreover, mother's food can turn green. In addition to beets, the color of milk can be affected by pumpkin, carrots, greens, seaweed and other products with a high content of natural dyes.
