Is the milk thin because you're not hungry enough?

Patient's question:

I am 28 years old this year. My milk has always been very thin. I feel like the baby can't eat enough, and they get hungry again after a while. Is the thin milk not very filling?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, moms, as long as you ensure a diverse and nutritious diet, the milk you secrete will not differ significantly. Breast milk generally appears relatively thin because it contains a higher proportion of water, so it looks thin. It gradually turns white later, as the composition of breast milk varies between the beginning and the end. You can eat more fish, shrimp, and lean meat, and drink more stewed soups, but grains, vegetables, and fruits are equally important. It's essential to supplement your intake of nutrients.
