Hand expressing milk and noticing a thicker and stickier consistency, often resembling colostrum, could be due to a variety of factors. Sometimes, during the breastfeeding journey, the consistency and appearance of breast milk can vary. It's possible that this change could be a temporary adjustment in your milk supply, especially since your baby is three months old. However, if you have concerns or the symptoms persist, it's best to consult with a lactation consultant or healthcare provider for a proper evaluation. They will be able to provide advice tailored to your specific situation and address any concerns you may have.
