I am hoping someone can help me...
A coworker of mine is due to have her baby in about 3 weeks and has had 
problems in the past with oversupply issues. I want to try and help her this 
time, and any suggestions would be helpful.
When she delivered her first child she ended up giving it up because she was 
miserable with engorgement. Within a few hours of birth she was becoming 
engorged and producing large amounts of milk. She proceded to continue filling 
up and was so miserable at home, even with frequent feedings, cabbage 
leaves and ice packs. I have never seen anyone produce this much milk and be 
so miserably engorged. An engorgement that would never go away, even after 
several weeks of attempts at continuing to nurse. 
She is pregnant now and is worried about an oversupply again and very much 
wants to nurse this time. At 5 months gestation, she was already leaking 
(large amounts) and feeling very full and it has continued throughout the 
pregnancy. Any suggestions? I thought that I would have her start out this 
time with the block nursing. 
Thanks.
