White flakes in thawed breastmilk
Does this look normal?? I thawed 4oz of breastmilk in the fridge and I just grabbed it and it has all these little white flakes. I’ve never noticed it before so I don’t know if I should toss it or not.

This happens with mine too but after it’s warmed up the flakes go away
That’s the fat that’s separated from the milk. Once it’s warm it’ll mix back in!
Yes it’s normal and safe! It’s just the fat in your milk. Once heated it’ll mix in together
Thank you guys 😊 it was fine after I warmed it

I think it’s the oils/fats. If you don’t feel comfortable feeding it to your baby then you can always use it for a milk bath instead of tossing it!
