not enough fat?

Question

I pumped this milk for my daughter yesterday since my mom is watching her for a few hours tonight. now that its separated in the fridge overnight there’s like no fat in it. I have frozen milk I cam send instead. What would you do? normally when I pump and it separates its like half fat half watery. is this ok?

Answer

breast milk changes based on the baby's needs so that's what the baby needed so you can send that that should be more than sufficient

Answer

Just swirl it and it will combine together again!

Answer

Mine looked similar and our pediatrician said that I was not eating enough calories to produce fatty milk. Babies need the "whole" milk and not the "skim" I produced when not eating enough. Make sure to snack when nursing and pumping and that should help increase the fat in your milk. She said it's literally a difference of 300 calories a day, so it's an easy fix! Best of luck!

Answer

Yes, it’s fine. Trust your body mama. It makes exactly what your baby needs 💞
