Milk goes through many changes. First, you have colostrum which is thick and sticky and which can be various shades of yellow, gold, and orange. My colostrum with my first son was an almost metallic orange. With my second son it was the color of orange juice.
Then, it turns into transitional milk where the colostrum is still present. The bags below show my transitional milk (pumped day 4 postpartum when my milk came in) and more mature milk (pumped week 2 postpartum).
This post doesn’t really have much of a point other than “expect the look of your milk to vary and change”. Different colors are normal, from pinkish, to brownish, orange-ish, and even green can be completely and totally normal.
