Heather and all, I am catching up and only to Jan 20 so hope this post is relevant. Heather said "When the baby finishes his session at the breast there is hindmilk in the reservoirs and ducts, and that gets joined by foremilk that's trickled down in the time between the baby's sessions. So the longer the gap between feeds, the higher the proportion of foremilk. The shorter the gap, the more hindmilk." What I am wondering is does the size/internal anatomy of the breast make a difference in this? Like if a mom is small breasted maybe the ducts and reservoirs are closer to the nipple/areolar complex and very large or pendulous breasts have more watery milk separating and trickling down? Just throwing out more food for thought. Laurie Wheeler, RN, MN, IBCLC Violet Louisiana, s.e.
