Susan, Heather, and all,
I, too, have seen lots of anxiety and strange behavior from moms around
foremilk and hindmilk, which is why I wrote the following blog post:

I just had a client email me a bunch of questions and discovered she was
pumping and throwing out her foremilk. She is not such an oversupplier
that she is in any danger of being out of balance and feeding the
freezer all her hindmilk. So, it just dawned on me, are all these crazy
over the top enhance your hindmilk strategies depriving some babies of
water? I actually used this analogy in her case to get her to stop
pumping before and throwing out her milk. How many mothers are
discarding that first watery milk. Are those babies kidneys working
harder because of it? I'm not talking about your average mom doing a
little extra let it flow out when it sprays too fast, but the obsessive
moms who take these things to extreme. Best, Susan Burger
