Does this mean that she's not getting enough water soluble vitamins and carbohydrates and protein and lactose for breain development? I naturally produce about 50 ounces of milk everyday. My daughter is now 7 months old and she's still exclusively breastfed. She doesn't latch anymore though from the time she reached her 2nd month. Since I produce more milk than she needs, I normally just pump and store the 1st 3ounces of each breast every time I express milk, then I only give her very creamy hindmilk. Is this bad? I learned that more lactose is present in the foremilk? Does this mean that she's not getting enough lactose for brain development. Is too much fat in the hindmilk bad as well? I'm really worried. Thanks, Mikaela I have been giving my daughter only hindmilk. Does this mean that she’s not getting enough water soluble vitamins and carbohydrates and protein and lactose for breain development?

I always had mothers who thought they knew everything under the sun tell me that I need to nurse both sides during feedings. It's crazy how I just "knew" to nurse one side at a time. And I definately notice the creamier milk come in. Thank you for this!!!! I’m so glad to read this!
