I've never heard a thing about poop color and fore- or hindmilk. I can tell you that my ds sometimes has green poop and gained weight very rapidly. He was 20 lbs by the time he was 4 months old and he only wieghed 8 1/2 lbs when he was born. I'm beginning to think I don't make foremilk because he only nurses for about 5 minutes at a time.
I always nursed him on both sides every feeding that I could. There were times when he would fall asleep before I could switch him. I don't really know much about correcting an imbalance either. I've always nursed on both sides as evenly as possible so never really worried about it. I was told not to worry if I don't get him to nurse on both sides each time or if I start with the same side a couple times in a row because it would all even out in the end.
Do you feel your let down or can you tell by a change in swallowing when your baby is getting milk rather than just suckling for comfort?
