Deborah: I'm sorry...I must have misread your post. I thought that you
said under supply. I still think MER is the problem, but you don't need to
worry about the cabbage leaves surpressing lactation if she has an over
supply. Also, I would add breast compression using a vegetable oil to
reduce friction and preceded by warm compresses. If oversupply persists
(mom's body usually catches up to the demand or baby goes through a growth
spurt and needs the "extra" milk), mom could try something like sage, which
is a lactation surpressant.
