I agree.
I probably speak to 3-5 mothers per shift on the LLL Helpline who make this 
 exact statement...

Subject: Re: hindmilk and  foremilk

Perhaps they are trying to point out that only one type of milk  is made 
and that there is not a clear line of demarcation between fore and  hindmilk.  
We use the terms to describe the shift in fat over time and in  relation to 
fullness of the breast.  I think fore and hindmilk can be very  misleading 
terms because they sound so absolute, when in truth there is only one  type 
of milk with a gradual change in fat contact.

If I had a dime for  every Mom who lamented, "I only make foremilk . . . 
.".
