Hindsight is always 20/20, so I'm not criticizing your management of 
this case at all. Oversupply moms are more prone to mastitis, so I'm 
usually cautious about this. I usually use Diane Wiessinger's procedure 
for oversupply to gradually decrease milk supply. First, I recommend 
that mom bf on one breast per feeding, unless baby clearly wants more. 
Next, she feeds on one breast as many times as baby wants during a 3 
hour period, and then uses the opposite breast for the next 3 hours 
(unless the baby goes longer than 3 hours, then she uses the breast 
whose "turn" it is, then uses the other breast for the next feeding, 
whenever it is). Next, we stretch the time between switches to 4 hours, 
then 5, until mom and baby are comfortable.

If more help than this is needed, then a little sage tea or tincture is 
also helpful.
