Breastmilk Turns GREEN When Mum Tests Covid-19 Positive, Check Here Whether It’s Safe
New Delhi: While the world is panic stricken due to the deadly Covid-19 and it’s new variants, a mum shows how her breastmilk changed dramatically after she was exposed to Covid-19 – as health experts reveal it is safe for infected mums to breastfeed.
Ashmiry shared two photos showing her breastmilk before and after she came down with Covid – pointing out the huge change in colour and consistency of her supply.
She said the change in the colour of her milk let her know something was wrong with herself and her children – shortly after they tested positive to the virus.
‘The color change indicates that my body is making exactly what Rubi needs. Antibodies, extra fatty and just pure goodness,’ she wrote alongside the pictures.

‘How amazing is breastmilk, it’s magical and I’m so thankful to be able to produce it especially now,’ she wrote.
The post was shared by CPR KIDS, a child-focused first aid group on Facebook where it quickly became the major talking point of the day.
The health experts said they had been inundated with messages from concerned mums wondering if they could breastfeed their children while sick with the disease.
‘The COVID-19 virus has not been found in breastmilk, but can easily be passed between people. Speak to your midwife or GP for advice specific to your situation and make the choice you are comfortable with,’ they wrote alongside the mother’s incredible photo.
While others pointed out breastfeeding was far from a ‘magic bullet’.
‘The antibodies are limited to IgA though, which doesn’t translate to respiratory protection or immunity in the blood, mum should be really careful,’ one woman warned.
Others said they would be anxious giving the off-coloured milk to their children based on its appearance.
‘It looks like a dodgy cocktail,’ one mum wrote.
