Foremilk (left) has a higher water content and a lower fat content to satisfy thirst. Hindmilk (right) has a lower water content and a higher fat content to satisfy hunger. Each year in the U.S. roughly 27% of infants and children are affected by disease. [ 9 ]
In the 1980s and 1990s, lactation professionals (De Cleats) used to make a differentiation between foremilk and hindmilk. But this differentiation causes confusion as there are not two types of milk.

The Australian research shows that the foremilk of the evening may have more cream than the hindmilk of the morning. Don't knock the non-creamy portion of milk.
