There are not 2 types of breastmilk. Every drop of breastmilk is valuable and important for your baby!

The fat content in milk does vary depending on various things including time of day, and the interval of time since that breast was last fed from. It’s usually something your breasts will manage without us having to even think about it.

For a baby who’s not gaining weight as quickly as we’d like what matters is the VOLUME of milk they’re receiving rather than the make up of this milk.

Using both breasts frequently will mean the fat level is more consistent throughout the whole feed.

Keeping your baby drinking by watching for swallows, using compressions and switch nursing when the swallows slow are the most effective techniques for helping feeds to efficient and effective for your baby, increasing the calories your baby is getting, and stimulating your supply too.

If you’re struggling with breastfeeding please seek help and support.

Short version, for most people...forget about it!
