I agree.
I probably speak to 3-5 mothers per shift on the LLL Helpline who make this
exact statement...

Subject: Re: hindmilk and foremilk
Perhaps they are trying to point out that only one type of milk is made
and that there is not a clear line of demarcation between fore and hindmilk.
We use the terms to describe the shift in fat over time and in relation to
fullness of the breast. I think fore and hindmilk can be very misleading
terms because they sound so absolute, when in truth there is only one type
of milk with a gradual change in fat contact.
If I had a dime for every Mom who lamented, "I only make foremilk . . .
.".
