From 2 different sources, I think there is more fat in breastmilk than in
cow's milk.  Whole milk has 8g of fat per cup.  Doing a little math, there
are approximately 4 grams of fat per dl in breastmilk and 2.366 dl in 1
cup, that makes 9.5 g of fat per cup of breastmilk.  If you take 1.2 g of
fat per oz in breastmilk that is 9.6 grams of fat per cup of breastmilk.
Either way is greater than 8 grams per cup in cow's milk, I think it still
would be greater even with a variation in the breastmilk from fore to
hindmilk.  Just my thoughts, Mandy Frost, MS, RD, IBCLC
