Has  anyone ever used the word "homogenized" in any way, either positive or

~~~ Hello all,
 
Yes I have used the term. I've said something like "your milk is not  
homogenized, because you are not a cow" ( meaning dairy farm cattle, I never  
specify that but they seem to get it) to help mothers understand why pumped 
milk  doesn't look like the milk they may have been most familiar with, cow's 
milk. I  can see how this might be helpful in illustrating how our bodies are 
amazing (  as are cow's when in nature, I would guess) and will deliver 
what I call "full  complement milk" over the course of a normal, effective 
nursing. When I say  "full complement milk" I am usually trying to work through 
the whole  "foremilk/hindmilk" issue they are concerned about.
 
Peace,
