Strange breastfeeding/pumping question?
So I just pumped like I do every night. My husband feeds our son my milk in a bottle before bed. Tonights milk will be for tomorrow night. Well, when I went in the kitchen with my two bottles, I noticed one of them looked normal while the other looked like strawberry milk! At first we were baffled. Then I checked myself out and saw one of my nipples is bleeding (son has 8 teeth currently and I have just learned to put up with some biting). Husband thinks I should dump the 3 oz out that are mixed with blood. I feel like losing 3 oz is such a waste and the blood wont harm my son. Should we keep it or not?
He's 8.5 months old. He started teething around 4 months old and got the last 4 teeth all at once about a month ago!

Keep it. There's nothing in your blood that's not in your breast milk. It may effect the taste, though, and your son may refuse to drink it.
That's cute that you pump just so your husband can feed your baby a bottle!

I would throw it out but then again i remember how ard it was to pump it and i myself dont think it would harm the child.
