ExpertDr. Minal AcharyaNutritionist7 years agoA. fore milk is the milk that comes in the beginning of breastfeeding it has more water and lactose sugar, find milk comes later during breastfeeding and it is rich in fat. therefore while breastfeeding at 1 episode of feeding feed from only one breast so that baby gets a balance of 4 milk and hindmilk

ExpertDr.Rasika ThosarPaediatric Intensivist7 years agoA. breast milk is made in such a way that first milk that comes after baby suckles, is foremilk. it is watery to quench the thirst of the baby.
slowly it thickens.
hind milk is the most fatty part of the milk which comes at the end of the feed, it satiates baby. so baby should empty the breast completely.

NikithaMom of a 10 yr 9 m old child7 years agoA. Hello...The term foremilk refers to the milk at the beginning of a feeding; hindmilkrefers to milk at the end of a feeding, which has a higher fat content than the milk at the beginning of that particular feeding. There is no sharp distinction between foremilk and hindmilk–the change is very gradual

SanthoshiMom of a 8 yr old child7 years agoA. Foremilk is the first milk that comes it will be watery and later hind milk comes which is thick milk. Try to feed for longer duration. atleast 15-20 min on each breast. that way your baby will get enough of fore milk and hind milk. Hind milk comes later and is supposed to be rich in fats which helps in gaining weight in babies. So empty a breast every time.
