Patient's question:
Due to the fact that I have been receiving intravenous ceftriaxone for the past few days, I have been unable to breastfeed the baby. After expressing the milk with a breast pump, I found it to be light blue or light green. I am not sure if it is caused by the intravenous drip.Medical history and treatment effectiveness: Currently undergoing intravenous ceftriaxone treatment.
What help is needed: Please advise the doctor whether this condition is caused by the intravenous drip. Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
The phenomenon of breast milk appearing light blue requires attention to warmth, enhanced nutrition, and drinking more soups such as pork trotter and peanut soup, fish soup, and more chicken liver. If there is a need for ceftriaxone infusion, breastfeeding is not possible; at least a 24-hour interval is required before breastfeeding. The above suggestions are for the question "Why does breast milk turn light blue?" and are hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
