Is there a way to make breast milk thicker.?

Question

If your breast milk is kind of watery to you and you want to make it thicker and richer how i can u do that.?

Answer

Don't need to do anything to your breast milk hunni!! It's perfect for bubba at the stage they are at and changes based on their developmental stage, what nutrients they need etc! 
Foremilk (the milk that comes out first) tends to be more watery
Hindmilk looks whiter and is fattier! (Stuff that comes out when your feeling a bit less full)

Answer

That is how it should be. The consistency is very different from formula and you don't need to do anything. There is a change in your milk from when the beginning of the feeding to the end. When baby is close to being done feeding it is a little richer so try to empty one breast before switching to the other. I actually nursed from only one breast each feeding to keep my supply up and make sure my baby got that hind milk. Hope I made sense explaining that!

Answer

You don't want to do that. Breastmilk is perfect just the way it is and its watery because the baby needs to stay hydrated :) breastmilk doesn't actually stay the same consistency throughout a feeding. The milk at the beginning is pretty thin and watery to hydrate the baby and then the milk becomes thicker as baby eats to provide nourishment. If you're pumping both milks mix together and it makes the thicker milk look thinner than it is. Don't worry, it's still super healthy even if it seems too watery!
