🤱 Debunking the Foremilk-Hindmilk Myth! 🥛

Hey mamas and soon-to-be mamas! 💕

Let's talk about a common misconception in the world of breastfeeding: the foremilk and hindmilk myth.

👉 Myth: Foremilk is "watery" and not as nutritious, while hindmilk is super creamy and packed with nutrients.

👶 Truth: Breast milk is a dynamic fluid that changes composition throughout a feeding session!

😲 The idea of distinct foremilk and hindmilk is oversimplified.

While it's true that milk at the beginning of a feeding might be more watery, it's not "less nutritious." It's loaded with important immune-boosting factors and hydrating goodness for your little one. As the feeding progresses, the fat content increases, providing your baby with essential calories.

🌟 What matters most is that your baby is getting a balanced blend of nutrients from the start to the end of each feed. Every drop of breast milk is tailored to your baby's needs, whether it's thirst-quenching or calorie-packed. ✨

If you have been told that your baby is fussy or unsettled because they are getting too much foremilk, make sure you have your feeding assessed first before reducing their breastfeeds.

Often fussy or unsettled behaviour at the breast is more commonly due issues such as gut health issues, intolerances/allergies or latch/feeding issues.

Remember, breastfeeding is a unique journey for every mum and baby pair. Trust your intuition, and if you have concerns about your baby's growth or feeding patterns, it's always a good idea to consult an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant 🩺💬

Let's spread the word and bust those breastfeeding myths! 💪

There are definitely some perks to breastfeeding! What’s your favourite?
•
A popular one is the easiness of having milk at the right temperature, at the ready, wherever you and your baby go. 🙌🏼

Not sure why your baby is crying? Babies cry and ‘fuss’ around 1-3 hours a day on average. Here’s a little checklist to go through when they’re upset:
1. They’re hungry
2. They’re tired
3. They want closeness, comfort or connection
4. They’re too hot/cold
5. They’re uncomfortable and need a nappy change or adjusting clothes etc.
6. They’re unwell
