I believe this is a stop - gap method.  Something to be used until the sleepy
baby or whatever problem resolves itself.  First, get the baby to feed!  Then
you can work on the hind milk issue which, in my humble opinion, the first
days (0 - 7) isn't really that big of an issue.  Well fed baby, rested mom
and lots of TLC are the big issues!  Sometimes new parents suffer from
too-much-information overload.  I don't bring up fore milk/hind milk until
everybody seems to be recovered from birth...Could be 3 days, could be 10
days, depends on who I am dealing with and what they have been through. But
the super switch can and does work!
