Is the milk turning clear because I'm weaning?

Patient's question:

I am a 23-year-old woman, and I have been breastfeeding my child since birth. So, I would like to know if the milk becoming clear is a sign of weaning.

Doctor's answer:

The milk becoming clear does not necessarily mean weaning has occurred. There are several reasons that can cause this:
1. A mother's diet being too greasy during breastfeeding can also lead to clearer milk.
2. Poor mood can affect a mother's health, thereby impacting the production of substances like protein, fat, and sugar in her milk, making it appear clearer.
3. Nutritional deficiencies during breastfeeding can also result in clearer milk.
