Hi Morgan,

Thank you for this:

I refer to it as gold milk and discuss the transition from gold milk to
white milk.

I love the gold and white milk terms and will use them :))

I am also very happy when I call 'foremilk'  - 'the juicy part of the  
feed', and 'hindmilk' - 'the creamy part'. I always talk about how  
they mix together when there's a good let-down reflex and encourage  
listening for it. I see so many mothers with babies who are getting  
half the amount they could do because a health professional (who has  
not had the benefit of a recent training or update) is fussing and  
fretting them about hindmilk.
