Hi,

Thanks for all your input on green breastmilk. I just spoke to the ped and she told me this: after speaking with me, she took a sample of the milk
to the hospital lab. She showed it to the technitian, who asked her what she wanted to look for in the milk. She said she didn´t really know, and
explained to the technician what I had told her about "rusty pipes". His face lit up and he said: "doctor, I had never seen breastmilk before, but I
have cleaned out quite a few pipes and this is what this stuff looks like".

Apparently this eased the ped´s fears more than I had done and she went to tell the mother all about flushing pipes and to go ahead and nurse
her baby.

So I´m happily off to bed knowing the baby will get his milk... thanks to a funny lab tech (although I have to remember to go show him some
"normal" colored breastmilk to pull him out of his lack of knowledge)
