Oh yes :) (not that I know what 'glom onto' means, but I can guess!)

Foremilk and hindmilk have been half-understood by too many mothers
and their professional carers, and by authors of books for mothers.

I get *tons* of calls from mothers who ask 'how long does it take for
the baby to reach the hindmilk?' or 'he comes off after x mins -
surely he can't have got the hindmilk?'

Watch the baby, not the clock ; )
