Foremilk/hindmilk imbalance (breastfeeding mamas)
Please has anyone experienced their baby having foremilk/hind milk imbalance from their breast milk? I was thinking my baby may have an intolerance to something I’m eating so I’ve cut out dairy and eggs for a week and there’s no improvements. He’s experiencing green diarrhoea and so much discomfort which I know is the same symptoms as intolerance so I’m beginning to think it’s an imbalance in my breast milk. Can anyone who has experience here shed some light as I’m so worried for my son, I just want him back to normal it’s been some weeks now, seeing him like this is horrible.

When my son was younger it helped if I caught some of my letdown sometimes, that way they can get more fat if that’s the issue going on
My daughter had this. I pumped for 10 mins before a feed or hand expressed a little just to until the let down slowed and this improved it. It can be fine as long as he's putting on normal amount of weight. It's just fast let down. They get better with it with time as they age.
1 week isn’t long enough for dairy to be completely out of your system - it’s about 3 weeks for all traces to be gone.
