MANY differences. Among them: Prebiotic in the foremilk, extra fat in the hindmilk. Hindmilk makes baby grow fast. Foremilk helps them digest easier. Too much foremilk and not enough hindmilk gets painful gas and colicky babies who don’t gain as much weight. Do your research.

One accumulates in the front and is the first the baby drinks, the other accumulates in the back. Thus the names. It’s a natural distribution that breasts automatically arrange. Most moms pump and feed mostly foremilk, back and forth on each, and don’t drain the whole breast.

A lot of moms feed back and forth at each feeding without doubling on the same breast so the baby only gets foremilk at every feeding and ends up massively gassy and colicky. Draining the breast by doing the same breast two feedings in a row helps this.
