Correct me if I'm wrong, but I had in mind that if you nurse as
frequently as the Kung! people do, the milk "evens out" so there is no
longer much difference from feed to feed, and very little difference in
fat content from the beginning of the 2.5 min. to the end too?  I'm
assuming in that case, rather than being say 0.1% as very skim foremilk
all the way to 8% at the end of a long nursing session, for hindmilk,
you might end up with 3-4% milkfat all the way through the 2.5 min.?
