Lara says,

Colour me sceptical about the "low-fat" milk, without any more
information being provided about how full the breast was when the
creamatocrit was taken, and what precautions were taken to get a
representative sample. A full breast of a completely normal mum will
give lower fat results than that.

It seems to me that a *good* creamatocrit would be done by taking equal
amounts of milk from the beginning, middle & end of feed and doing the same at
varying times throughout a 24 hour period, mixing it well, and then doing the
creamatocrit.

But there may be easier ways of doing it....
