I've noticed my baby's milk sometimes seem oily or greasy when I’ve defrosted stuff I pumped. Like has an oily layer. Has anyone else experienced this?

I think what your seeing is called foremilk . It is the fat content in the breast milk. Great for baby!
Im not sure it is. My foremilk is lighter in colour and thinner.
This is defrosted milk from December it’s More golden in colour and in the bottle it has an oil layer ontop when it settles. Almost like looking at olive oil in it. She’s happy having it I’ve just never seen it look oily before
Yeah I’m used to the cream layer on top when it separates but never oil ! We’ve only just started defrosting bags of it !
Ah Thankyou x
I’m assuming it’s safe to feed ?
