Add fat to breast milk?

Question

Just curious if y’all have had issues with low fat in your milk and how you raise the fat amount in it? 
I’ve noticed when I pump there is a tiny thin layer of fat and the rest almost looks like milky water..

Answer

Thanks ladies! I was concerned. I’d never paid attention but when i take it from the fridge I’ve noticed it recently. Y’all have definitely put my mind at ease! 💜💜

Answer

Thats normal

Answer

Mine looks like that, and my son gains weight, and is perfectly healthy.

Answer

you can increase the healthy fat in your diet if your worried but I'm sure it's normal. You just need to make sure you're still taking your prenatal and eating a well balanced diet. Baby will be fine, I know it's a scary time but coming from someone who's done it a couple of times, you've got this girly!!

Answer

That's normal, but if you're still worried about it, try adding coconut oil to your diet. It's made up of the same healthy fats that breastmilk is made of and adding it to your diet, about 30 min prior to feeding/pumping once a day will help a lot!
