I love that I can come on here and ask you ladies questions! So this morning I'm pumping and start to notice a pretty drastic difference in the color and consistency of milk between my boobs. The right is like cream, thicker and a smooth creamy color. But the left iis very thin, watery and kind of a pale soapy blue tint. She had just eaten off the left which is why there is less, but both were quite empty when done pumping. Is it normal for there to be sucha difference? Should I worry something wrong or not freeze this batch? My daughter is 8 weeks old exclusively breastfed and I have been pumping once or twice a day last couple weeks to get stash going for when I go back to work next month. Thanks girls! I'm going to try a link to a picture. I'm on my phone and not sure if this will work. https://db.tt/5u9M5vCW
 
The thin mmilk is foremilk and the thick creamy milk is hindmilk. Nothing wrong with either , you need your lo to get plenty of both so i would probably mix the two bottles them split them into seperate bags for freezing.
 
I mixed my milk. I'd get 2-4 oz of foremilk (the blueish, light watery milk) and get like 1oz of fatty hindmilk. I just mixed it!
