     Hi everyone

     thanks for your responses regarding oversupply.

     I passed along your suggestions yesterday.  The babies latch and suck
     appear fine... no noise, baby is getting a mouthful, tummy to tummy.
     this poor woman says she can pump 20 ounces out of one breast!!!
     Also, she says the stools are green sometimes but not frothy and baby
     is not fussy.  She has nursed a baby before without this problem

     What is really strange is that it is one sided.  While the one breast
     is constantly engorged, the other produces much smaller amounts...

     She is in close contact with the pediatrician regarding the weight
     gain.. I don't know if they've looked into malabsorption problems.

     Anyway, with the one-sidedness of this problem, I am thinking that she
     should concentrate on feeding off of the side which produces less milk
     while applying cabbage to the other side.  Does this make sense to you
     all?  Oh, I hope so!  ;-)

     Thanks again!

     Wendy Funk
