Rosemary,

My two very favorite articles giving deep insight into the causes, and the effects of oversupply syndrome on the baby as well as the mother, and how to "tamp it down" promptly and wisely are:


Finish the First Breast First, Melissa Clark Vickers, available on the LLL website


Overabundant milk supply: an alternative way to intervene by full drainage and block feeding
Caroline GA van Veldhuizen-Staas
International Breastfeeding Journal 2007 2:11     (full text available on internet)


(I believe it is the most, or among the most highly accessed articles since the launch of the journal.) 


(Congratulations on this, to "our" Gonneke. I told you it was gonna be great! ;-)
