Mary,
Yes! The mother who has problems with bubbles in the milk has very,
very fatty milk. Her baby (5 weeks) is totally fed on demand. On
average she wants a nursing every 4-5 hours. This baby is gaining
on the average 400 grams per week!!! I looked at the milk she had in
the fridge and it looked like cream. Maybe in her past life she was a
seal... Still, I'm wondering what the connection is between fat and
bubbles. Also, does anyone know why some women (myself included) have
this super-creamy milk? How much is related to diet? How much to
fat reserves set down in pregnancy?
