watery milk

[daisymum]

My milk has become very watery lately, it used to be much more creamy sooner into the feed. I can see this from the milk that i express - the fatty layer at the top is much thinner than usual. Dd (3 months old today) is not unhappy, but I'm concerned she's not getting maximum satisfaction, especially when I'm using ebm to top her up in the evenings. Is this change in milk normal at this stage?

i can remember that the milk does change but if you at all concerned, go see your hv or ask to see a bf counsellor. hth x

This is totally normal. Breastmilk changes all the time to suit the needs of your baby. It even changes colour. When I worked nigt shift the milk I expressed had a hint of green colour! If you look at milk collected from different mothers with different ages of babies, it is all different.

thanks
