Popis: A 28-year-old breastfeeding mother of term-born 3-month old twins contacted the Hospital Lactation consultant for advice. She had expressed milk at 2am and had stored the milk in the fridge. She fed some of that milk to one of the twins at 11am and further milk to both twins at 4pm. All three bottles were left on the bench until the next morning when the mother intended to clean the bottles. She found that the milk residue in all three feeding bottles had turned bright pink and had a strong earthy odour (see Fig. 1). The mother brought one of the bottles containing the bright pink milk with her to the hospital. The mother was in good health, with no symptoms of mastitis and no fever. Both twins were also healthy and continued to feed well and gain weight. What is the cause of the pink milk? (answer on page 82)
