mean anything in terms of nutrients and  calories.>>
 
 
There's never been any question about the difference in caloric  value of 
milk with more or less fat.  I DO know that.   But I am  interested in the 
differences in the actual gram weight of 30 ml of hind  milk vs the actual gram 
weight of 30 ml of foremilk, for example.  Or heavy  whipping cream vs skim milk.  
 And would that difference in  weight be significant enough to make a 
difference in weighing the babies?  

 

For example, if 1 ml of foremilk  actually weighed 2 grams, and a ml of hind 
milk weighed 1 gram that  would be certainly different than if 1 ml of 
foremilk actually weighed 1.002  grams vs 1 ml of hind milk weighing 0.997 grams.
