Doctor shares common breastfeeding mistake many new moms don’t realise they’re making
Pediatrician Dr. Mohit Sethi explains that babies may seem hungry after feeding due to incomplete milk intake. Foremilk, the initial thin milk, quenches thirst, while hind milk, richer and fattier, satisfies hunger. Encouraging babies to continue feeding from the same breast until they receive hind milk ensures they are fully nourished and stay satisfied longer.
