go 2 the doctor,usually no breast milk should be green! breast milk may be a tint of yellow when you first start producing it, this is called colostrum & its normal, but if its green u most likely have a severe infection! get help from a doctor! i may be wrong some women do produce colored breast milk if they eat lots of food with that certain color such as a green vegetable diet or eating lots of green food colorings. but usually this is rare , go see a doctor.

Does a girls breast contain milk even if she is not a pregnant and at what age she may find milk in her breasts?
Age has nothing to do with when a female produces breast milk, and the only time a female has milk in her breasts is after giving birth. The first breast secretion after delivering is not milk, but a substance called "Colostrum", which is thought to have more of the vital nutrients and immune boosters than the breast milk itself has. The breasts will produce the colostrum for about a day, then they will begin producing milk. They will continue to produce milk for as long as the mother nurses, but when she stops nursing, the breasts stop producing milk.
