As a currently lactating mother, I can say with certainty - sorta.  When
the milk leaks onto my shirt, it leaves a circle where the material is a
darker shade (much like a grease spot).  I assume this happens because I
have awesome, rich milk (ask my son, Joseph).  However, on the rare
occassion that milk has been in Joseph and come back up, it has never
stained his clothing.  I understand formula stains a nasty off-white color.
 Does this help?
