Patient's question:
I am a first-time mother, 28 years old, and currently breastfeeding. Could you please tell me when the peak milk production period is?Doctor's answer:
Foremilk: The first milk produced during each breastfeeding session, typically the milk that comes out in the first two to three minutes. It has a high water content and provides the baby with abundant water, protein, lactose, vitamins, and minerals, except for immunoglobulins.Hindmilk: This milk contains more fat and is whiter in color than foremilk. It provides the baby with a significant amount of energy, which is beneficial for overall growth.
I hope the above explanation is helpful to you. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
