Abstract
Presence of blood in colostrum may change the color of breast milk and it is known as "rusty pipe syndrome." It may resolve within days, but it may be a barrier for exclusive breastfeeding. Knowledge of "rusty pipe syndrome" among health professionals is very helpful in the management of breastfeeding initiation.
