Foremilk and hind milk are a real deal. I just pumped 9 oz in 2 bags from the same side and it looks…

What's foremilk and hind milk?

Yes! that's why I don't recommend fenugreek anymore. Just increases foremilk if anything.

@dawnrose fore milk is the more lactose heavy part of breast milk, hind milk is the more fatty milk the really helps your baby grow and gain needed weight

how do u know the difference... or how u give them more the hind?

@dawnrose they gulp the fore milk faster and easier. They have to work harder for the hind milk. It usually takes about 20 - 40 minutes to feed on one side so that they have sufficient time to feed on hind milk

so let's say if I pump a few ounces and than breastfeed, that's a better chance of her getting the hind milk?

she never eats that long. I think i have a very quick letdown.

How often are you feeding her?

That might work

Foremilk is important to give regularly too it helps hydrate your little one.

@dawnrose

I feed her throughout the day maybe 2 hours and about 2 times over night. I pretty much ofter my breast when she wants it.

Read the books on becoming babywise and Tracy hogg's the secrets of the baby whisperer book it has helped me out tons. Your little one can go 3 hours inbetween feeds try a eat activity sleep cycle so for example feed her at 8 am then burp her change her, play with her etc until she starts fussing again and instead of feeding her again lay her down for a nap. And feed her after she has had a decent nap

The books give better details and specifics
