    Mel, the foremilk/hindmilk thing will usually work itself out after the first few weeks. It's really only something to keep in mind if you have an oversupply. As MadB says, the emptier your breast is, the fattier the milk. That's one of the ways that block feeding helps. It seems that is has made a difference for Sahti already which is great - and after a few days that should also help the supply settle down. 17 times in 24 hours is not as unusual as you would think - it's certainly within the normal range. But it does settle down, it won't be like this forever.
