Fat content of milk - can it change?
I know there is a general ratio or fat content to breastmilk and I know all about hindmilk and foremilk etc.
In the last week, my pumped output has dropped by about 20% on average per pumping. But, after looking at the bottles in the fridge, it looks like the fat content has WAY increased! Is that possible? And if so, why?

I have noticed that it changes with the weather. Like, if we are having a hot spell my milk will be more watery and there is more of it.

I think the breast are just smart enough to know when baby needs more hydration due to hotter weather.
 Like how we need to drink more water if we are hot and sweaty.
