# I also believe that fixing the latch is the real long-term solution
to "oversupply' problems. #
Ok, maybe this is obvious to others here, but my brain feel like
frozen right now, and I don't think I got the idea of what you are
saying.
If I think of a baby with a poor latch, who probably isn't able to
suckle and empty the breast very well, how does this fit the idea of
supply&demand? If there is a lot of residual milk after most
bfings/pumpings, that will eventually slow down the milk production. I
remember reading from some source a few years back that poor latch &
nipple stim might cause the milk supply go on to overdrive, but since
the newer information emphasizes the supply&demand, I am feeling a bit
confused now - how would poor latch, ie. breast not emptying well,
cause oversupply :-?
But like I said, my brain feel sticky, so maybe you were talking about
something totally different than I thought you were ;)
