How to tell if you have a Foremilk/Hindmilk Imbalance

Having a true foremilk/hindmilk imbalance is rare but can happen. It usually happens when: *A robust oversupply *An overactive let down *Baby is being limited in their time at the breast *Switching breasts too quickly in the feeding Baby with unidentified tongue tie *Combination of all of these Signs of an imbalance include *Really watery, foamy, green poops *Baby nurses often and transfers high volumes of milk but doesn’t gain weight as expected How to help: *Regulate the over supply (bring it down to just what baby needs). This may include reducing pumping. *Shake your breasts and do some massage before feeding. Milk is a liquid. By shaking prior to feeding you can activate the fat to flow faster *Feed baby one side until they are finished on that side. You may need to block feed, or offer one breast for a set amount of time, to help increase fat content from that side For more tips and tricks go to ‪@lalactation‬ On Instagram or schedule your private consultation at www.lalactation.com #breastmilk #breastfeedingfacts
