File:Human Breastmilk - Foremilk and Hindmilk.png
Summary
Two 25ml samples of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/breast_milk" class="extiw" title="en:breast milk">human breast milk</a> pumped from the same woman, at the same time to illustrate what human breast milk looks like, and how human breast milk can vary. The left hand sample is Foremilk, the first milk coming from a full breast. Foremilk has a higher water content and a lower fat content to satisfy thirst. The right hand sample is Hindmilk, the last milk coming from a nearly empty breast. Hindmilk has a lower water content and a higher fat content to satisfy hunger. <a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="http://www.drpaul.com/breastfeeding/colostrum.html">[1]</a> As breastmilk is made continuously including during the feed itself, the milk can switch between Foremilk and Hindmilk until the baby has had enough.
