Rusty pipe syndrome

What is Rusty pipe syndrome? Ans : Rusty pipe syndrome  is a breastfeeding condition where the color of the breast milk looks pink, orange, brown, or rust-colored, almost like the dirty water from an old rusty pipe. One  may not even notice rusty pipe syndrome unless she is  pumping or her baby spits up some discolored breast milk.Rusty pipe syndrome is a breastfeeding condition where the color of the breast milk looks pink, orange, brown, or rust-colored, almost like the dirty water from an old rusty pipe. The rusty color comes from a small amount of blood that mixes with the colostrum or first breast milk. This rust-colored milk can appear during the first few days of breastfeeding, and it's more common for first-time moms. It's painless, and although it can happen on only one side, you are more likely to see it in both breasts
