What does breastmilk look like?
A. Breastmilk has two parts, foremilk and hindmilk. Foremilk is thin and watery and hindmilk is thick and creamy. Your baby gets foremilk at the beginning of a feeding and hindmilk at the end of feeding. Hindmilk contains the fat and calories babies need to grow, so be sure to breastfeed well on one breast before you offer the second breast.
