With most mothers here being instructed to feed for 10 minutes each side
(sometimes less in the early days) and all sorts of other restrictions
and obstacles, I do discuss fore/hindmilk prenatally.  It is given no
great emphasis, but used along with other information to explain why
restricting the duration of a feed is not advisable.

It is also discussed postnatally for the same reasons or when discussing
using one breast per feeding episode.

IMHO knowledge is empowering (without trying to overwhelm the new
mother.)
