This information has recently been passed to me by our dietician.  I try to
keep up on changes in theory, but did I miss this one?

"It has been fairly widely thought that the foremilk has more protein and
carbohydrate and the hindmilk more fat, however (someone)recently completed
her Lactation Counselor Certificate through The Center for Breastfeeding.
In the handbook she brought back from her course it discussed that this is
no longer the thought and that even babies who have very short nursing
sessions will get a balance of  prot/CHO/fat.
If the baby is having gassiness/fussiness/loose stools it could be related
to the an intolerance to something in the mother's diet and explore
removing foods from her diet and see if this makes a difference.  They
might also want to have the baby see a gastroenterologist."


Would this include a Mom with an oversupply or fast MER? What about the
hindmilk theory?
Please enlighten me.
