        1. I have seen several shades of green in milk, from extremely dark
to light lime green. Unless you have pumped the milk you wouldn't know the
colour so in most cases I think it is a variation of normal. Diet seems to
play a part especially large doses of b vitamin suppliments and guacamole
(cups of it!). In all situations we have observed the baby and followed its
cues, at no time have we recommended weaning. I DO understand, and may have
in the most elderly of my files, records of a rare bacterial infection
leading to green milk. I can't remember the details, sorry.
        2. Probably not pertinent to this particular situation but related.
Anecdotally, several friends and myself, who nursed for extended periods
(think several years with several children) can, more than a decade after
weaning, express droplets of green ranging to almost black 'milk' especially
at a specific part of our monthly cycle. My ob/gyn has remarked it may also
be a sign of fibrocystic breasts. It is certainly not something we do
routinely but had heard of it and were curious.

Please let us know the lab results.
