The fat in your milk accounts for 50% of the calories your baby takes in each feeding. While protein and lactose remain relatively stable throughout the day, milk fat concentration can vary by 47% in a 24 hour period! • Factors that influence milk fat in breast milk: • 🤱🏽 For time , things that influence the amount of fat in your milk include: Lifestyle, Diet, Body size, Health or disease/inflammation, Number of children, Type of birth, Overall milk volume produced daily • 👶🏼 In the baby, your body will respond to make specific milk for your baby based on their Gender, Gestational age, and Birth weight!!! • 🍫 Other factors that influence fat in human milk: • ⏰ Time of day (highest fat is in the afternoon/evening) • 👶🏼 👧🏽 Stage of lactation (colostrum has the lowest amount of fat. Extended milk for toddlers 12+ months has the highest amount of fat!) • 🗓 Time postpartum (milk fat increases with time!) • Ways to help increase milk fat: • 🤱🏽 Feed more frequently. The shorter you go between feedings, the higher fat and lower water concentrations are in your milk • ⭐️ Shake your breasts prior to feeding. This gets the fat at the back of the breast to be activated more quickly to flow sooner in the feeding • 🙌🏻 Breast compressions while feeding and pumping increases the amount of fat that is squeezed from the breast during feeding • 🐠 Add in healthy fats to your diet: salmon, herring, sardines, flax and chia seeds, and walnuts are high in healthy fats that can boost those kinds of fat in your milk • 🍦 Manage diabetes/blood sugars • 🏋🏽♀️ Make sure you’re not anemic or iron deficient • ♨️Reduce inflammation in the body (can often be done with diet and lifestyle changes and/or with the help of a naturopathic practitioner) • #milkfat #breastmilk #breastmilkstorage #breastmilksupply #breastmilkbaby #breastmilkbag #breastmilkbooster #breastmilkbottle
