Dear Jan and all,
i am just wondering why this mother is pumping at all, as in my experience  
pumping usually increases supply. i wonder if she stopped pumping and just used 
 cabbage for relief or tried hot flannels or a deep bath to allow some milk 
to  flow without stimulating the breasts. it may take a couple of days but her  
supply should settle to meet the babies demands, but as long as she continues 
to  pump i would think she is likely to be overstimulating.
[can i stress that i am quite new to lactnet and do not have the vast  
experience that you all have!!]
best wishes,
Marion,
