Breast milk - a real miracle of nature. It is always with you, the right temperature and taste. And in the breast milk produced by each mother of the composition that is needed is her baby!
Surprisingly, the composition of breast milk changes constantly: from the age of the child, depending on the time of day, and even from the beginning to the end of the feeding. At the beginning of applying the crumb gets the so-called "front" milk (it accumulates between feedings), and after the "front" the baby gets "back." What is the difference between the "cold"?
Milkshake"
"Front" milk- bluish in color, translucent and more watery, there are a lot of lactose (milk sugar), minerals and proteins. It is the word aperitif for the baby before serving more dense and greasy, "rear" milk.
"Rear" - densely white even yellowish, it has more fat and fat-soluble enzymes, growth factors and sleep. This is what the baby milk is saturated.
The chest will always be the "cocktail" of "front" and "rear" of milk, and, of course, there is no clear boundary between the number of servings of each. For example, when you open hot water tap, the first cold flows, which gradually warms up and becomes hot. And milk: pipsqueak suckles and first receives the "front" milk, then gradually gets the "back" milk, which increases the fat content.
IMPORTANT! The more often the mother will put the baby, the faster it will get "back" milk. By analogy with the crane: the more often during the day you turn on the hot water, the faster the water running from the tap the desired temperature.
helpful hints
To crumb received the required number of "front" and "rear" milk, it should well be emptied breasts at each feeding, so it should be fed on demand and allow the little one to be at the breast as long as he wants it.
It is impossible to express "front" milk and transfer the child only on the "back", wishing that pipsqueak faster and more saturated with gaining weight. In this case, the baby may not have enough fluid in the body, it would provoke constipation.
If crumb gets too much "front" milk (When the mother applies to one breast, and felt a surge in the second, immediately puts the crumbs to it), it is fraught with wildness in the tummy, foamy liquid stools. Often, when a feeding error pipsqueak underweight even with excellent resultstest "on the wet diaper."
Consultants on breastfeeding know that every mother feeding her rhythm, and yet are advised to apply to the breast more frequently, and then "back" milk will depart soon, that is, the crumb will not hang on the chest for an hour, eat only at the risk of "front" milk.
