Different colored breast milk

Oh yes I have the same problem! Supposibly one is fore milk and one is more fatty milk completely normal. I have the same problem and so I try to pump extra on the light side because it’s not so fatty so we need to take out the fore milk

Yes exactly as said! One is just more watery which is for hydration and full of vitamins & minerals and the more white is full of all the fats they need

Left is foremilk right is fatty milk 🤍 baby needs both! Foremilk is nice and watery and filled with great electrolytes and right is full of good nutrients for growing if you pump for longer on left side you should get the fatty milk after 🤍 letdowns happen roughly every 13 mins and you can help your boobs by massaging and warming to get more out as well

Mine is a lot more like the left. My baby will be 5 months on the 12 and weighs 17lbs I think that’s a good amount but I’m worried he’s not getting like the fat. He doesn’t really like my left boob so it doesn’t produce that much. Does the fat come out of one boob only ? And is that left boob for me ? Is he missing out on the fat? Or does it come out the right with like the hydration since my left doesn’t produce that much?

basically as baby feeds longer on your boob they will get to the fatty milk. They have to first get through the foremilk (hydration part) and then the hind milk will come out. If baby is feeding ok and seeming satisfied after feeds and gaining weight you are honestly fine though. If you’re pumping you’ll never be able to be as efficient as baby is it’s normal to not pump out a lot because baby is just better at getting the milk! If baby was getting too much hydration and not enough of the fatty milk they wouldn’t be gaining weight and certainly would not be 17 lbs at 5 months (I’m right there with you! My baby is about that much too lmfao)

his daycare teacher said my breastmilk doesn’t look like it has enough fat so it got me over thinking but Thankyou so much I feel better lol
