Too much foremilk?

Question

I have a bit of an oversupply and I'm afraid my son is getting to much of the foremilk and too little of the more calorie rich hindmilk. What do you think? I've heard that green algae like poop is a sign of this..

Answer

I had this with my daughter. Try blockfeeding. Just feed from one side at each feed. If she wants to feed again in the next 3 hours, offer the same breast so she continues to get hind milk. After 3 hours, offer the other side and continue like that xx

Answer

My son was like this but it was because of something that I ate. I later found out that he was allergic to cow's milk, so I had to eliminate dairy from my diet

Answer

'Foremilk' and 'hindmilk' is apparently only an old wives tale (not 100% sure but my sister-in-law told me this and shes a bf-ing peer supporter). It could be green if your baby is a bit poorly or due to something you ate. When my son was first born he was very sensitive to me eating fruit, fruit juices and high sugar drinks and his poo turned nuclear green like that when I ate that stuff! Hope it goes back to normal soon ☺
