warrgghhh! susu ku berdarah..bertukar dari kaler putih susu jadi kaler merah jambu. nie sume gara2 poor latch on lately ni. so as a result my B turn to sore n crack....

actually nie bukan 1st time jadi, rasenya dh kali ke3 sepanjang aku menyusukan rayna. 1st time kene mase dlm pantang. ibu aku kate, jgn bagi B yg dh luka, tp sbb dek kerana aku degil aku bgkan jugak kat rayna sbb dh sgt bengkak time tuh.

2nd time kene mase rayna 4 months, aku pump kt surau di opis, tgh syiok2 pump tgk2 dh tuka kaler pink, aku stop pumping & trus g buang hasil pump yg dh nk dekat 5oz tuh...wawawa sgt rugi...

so 2day for the 3rd times, its happen again. and i already found the answer. according to Pn. Rita (Malaysian LC), she said:
it is sometimes normal for this to occur. sometimes it is due to an injury at the nipple or inside the breast (baby biting or excessive pumping) best not to freeze but to refrigerate & offer baby the affected milk first if kept in fridge, it is up to 5 days only

huhuhu tapi, aku cm x sanggup nk bg rayna susu pink aku nie (nanti rayna jadi vampire)

untuk lebih menyakinkan aku, aku gugel lagi & terjumpe fakta yang serupa dengan yang Pn. Rita nyatakan.

Blood in Breast Milk

It can be frightening to find blood in breast milk. The general reaction to blood in any situation is distress and concern. You may be worried that the blood signifies a serious medical condition or you may be nervous that the blood can hurt your baby.

In most cases of blood in breastmilk, the only treatment is time. There is usually not much pain, unless the nipples are cracked or injured, or the breast tissue is very tender due to engorgement.

The bleeding will not harm your baby and it is fine to keep breastfeeding. Blood in breast milk is not uncommon. In cases during late pregnancy or during the first weeks after child birth, the blood is usually due to broken capillaries and intraductal papillomas.

In some cases it may appear that there is blood in the milk when it is actually coming from a cracked or sore nipple . Your baby will not be harmed by swallowing this blood and it will pass through in your baby’s stool.

Causes of Blood in Breast Milk

“Vascular engorgement” or Rusty Pipe Syndrome

The blood is caused by slight internal bleeding due to increased blood flow and development of the breast tissue in late pregnancy and is most common in first time mothers. It is more common in both breasts though it can happen in one breast. It is usually painless. This form of blood in the breast milk has been nicknamed, rusty-pipe syndrome, due to the rusty color of the milk.

Broken capillaries

Rough handling of the breast tissues as seen in improper use of a breast pump has been known to cause blood in breast milk.

Intraductal Papillomas

Benign, harmless tumors in the milk ducts may cause bleeding. Such a tumor is usually only found in one breast and does not cause lumps that can be felt. Sometimes intraductal papillomas are painful. The bleeding usually stops on its own without any kind of treatment.

It can be reassuring to consult a medical doctor about finding blood in your breast milk.

The blood will not harm your baby and it is recommended to continue breastfeeding as usual.
