I worked with a mom with a compromised baby who needed his milk to be
thickened so he could swallow it easier. And lo and behold, nothing will
thicken breastmilk! The enzymes in the milk break all the thickeners
down and you're back to where you started. The mom talked with several
dieticians, even those who had worked with lots of babies with problems
who were getting breastmilk, but nothing has been found to make
breastmilk thicker! Guess we can't outsmart the formula that our body
has for breastmilk.
Warmly,
