Milk or Cream

michelle_1221

I understand breastmilk changes, but in the past few weeks, the top fat is thick like cream (after less than a day in the fridge). Is this ok? I've also finally started to lose weight and am wondering if its related.

Perfectly normal!  it is the good stuff I swirl it around before heating or else it gets "cooked" and gets stuck in the nipple.

Mine has always looked like that and it is totally normal.  That is your hindmilk rising to the top.  It is the thicker "whole" milk that comes after the thin foremilk.  Never shake the milk.  Always gently swirl the milk to reconstitute the thick "cream" back in.

Exactly this!
