pumping pre-feed is it just foremilk? : i have a sleepy 3 week old...
so i have been pumping in the morning and the middle of the night to relieve engorgement. also, i think the baby has been getting too much foremilk and maybe making her gassy. question is, when i feed that pumped milk in a bottle when i need to, wont she mainly be getting just foremilk/ sorry for the lack of punctuation my phone is on the fritz

Re: pumping pre-feed is it just foremilk? : i have a sleepy 3 week old...
Yes, is it possible to mix it with some of the hindmilk from another pumping? Or do you only pump that little bit to relieve engorgment?
You could try pumping after his morning feeding out of whatever side you feed from, that way if there is anything left it will be the fattier milk...then just mix it with the foremilk.
