Oh my goodness......who is doing this? Is this a New York Manhattan 
madness thing??? !

I have never come across anyone thinking this is a good thing to do, 
or actually doing it.

I *am* finding mothers are somehow coming to a  crazy 
misunderstanding that 'foremilk' is not good and babies 'have to 
reach' the hindmilk :( :( :( as if 'the foremilk' was some sort of 
irritating barrier to the baby getting the 'good' stuff. So maybe I 
should watch out for some mothers taking things to their illogical 
conclusion.
