It wasn’t liquid. It was a layer that was immiscible. It left a 3d ‘stripe’ around the top when I dumped it out.
This is from wiki:
“Mother’s breast milk provides a higher proportion of cholesterol than almost any other food. It also contains over 50% of its calories as fat, much of it saturated fat.”
There is apparently a really big difference in fat content based on the moms diet. Low fat diets mean low fat milk which has been linked to neurological issues with the babies.
I was carb counting when I breastfed, not low carbing per se, but definitely eating more protein and fat than starch/sugar.
The baby that was breastfed the longest taught *herself* to read at age 2.25 years. She’s 6 now and reading anything you or I could read, with comprehension.
YMMV.
You are right on...low fat, low cholesterol is bad for babies and for us. Yours is a story to tell loud and clear! Thank you for sharing that. What you have shared is also saying loud and clear...Breast Feed!
The brain requires cholesterol. God knows best! For human infants, human breast milk from a properly fed mother is essential. It is pure brain food. And it is also food for all the rest of what is developing in the infant/young child.
One of the worst substitutes is Soy Milk. Soy is poison, and causes premature puburty in young females, and retarded development in young males, with more female characteristics. Estrogen like soy be damned!
