From what I see in mom forums, many women mistakenly think they have a low milk supply after initial engorgement improves and volume stabilizes to meet their baby’s needs. They are panicked about a decreasing supply. The advice from other moms is almost always focused on increasing production. 

I had/have an actual oversupply and even I had a brief moment when I worried about a decreasing supply. I took measures to manage engorgement, and even though I and baby were much more comfortable I questioned whether everything was ok. I have knowledge to keep me on track, but moms are bombarded with bad advice and don’t know it.
