Mature Milk
About 10-15 days after birth, you start making mature milk. Like each phase of breast milk, it has all the nutrients your baby needs. The amount of fat in mature milk changes as you feed your baby. Let your baby empty your first breast before switching to the other breast during a feeding.
Hindmilk
Hindmilk often appears thick and creamy and is richer and more calorie dense
Latching
- Nose to nipple
Chin to breast - Belly to belly
