Does breast milk make you fat?

By Zaira Salvador B.Sc., M.Sc. (embryologist).

No. Breast milk has the right proportions of carbohydrates, proteins and fats for the proper development of the baby. Moreover, this composition changes as the baby's needs are met.

The same is true for the texture of the milk. At the beginning of the feeding, the milk is more liquid to quench thirst, and then it becomes creamier to quench the baby's appetite.
