There's never been any question about the difference in caloric value of
milk with more or less fat. I DO know that. But I am interested in the
differences in the actual gram weight of 30 ml of hind milk vs the actual gram
weight of 30 ml of foremilk, for example. Or heavy whipping cream vs skim milk.
And would that difference in weight be significant enough to make a
difference in weighing the babies?
For example, if 1 ml of foremilk actually weighed 2 grams, and a ml of hind
milk weighed 1 gram that would be certainly different than if 1 ml of
foremilk actually weighed 1.002 grams vs 1 ml of hind milk weighing 0.997 grams.
