Heather and all,
I am catching up and only to Jan 20 so hope this post is relevant. Heather
said "When the baby finishes his session at the breast there is hindmilk in
the reservoirs and ducts, and that gets joined by foremilk that's trickled
down in the time between the baby's sessions. So the longer the gap between
feeds, the higher the proportion of foremilk. The shorter the gap, the more
hindmilk."
What I am wondering is does the size/internal anatomy of the breast make a
difference in this? Like if a mom is small breasted maybe the ducts and
reservoirs are closer to the nipple/areolar complex and  very large or
pendulous breasts have more watery milk separating and trickling down? Just
throwing out more food for thought.
