>Day 1, Mom nurses ONLY from one breast all day long. After baby has as much as
>he wants, she pumps that breast to remove the "remaining" milk. She also pumps
>the other (unnursed) side after every feeding for 20 minutes.
>Day 2: Mom nurses ONLY from the other breast all day long and pumps that breast
>after feedings and pumps the unnursed side. (The reverse of the first day, in
>other words)
>Day 3: Mom nurses 1st side but does not pump that side after feeding. She
>continues to pump the unnursed side as before.
>Day 4: Mom nurses 2nd side only, and only pumps 1/2 of the other side.
>According to MRT, there is no need to do anything special after day 4. Anybody
>heard of anything like this, or tried it?
>
>Other suggestions raised at that meeting (specific source unknown) to
reduce the
>supply:
>Drink 4 cups of sage tea a day.
>
>Take Sudafed once in the am, once at night. (Ann expresses concern over the
>"prescribing" aspect of this suggestion.)
>
>Also, someone suggested taking Vitamin B6 and thought there was a reference to
>that in Riordan and Auerbach?
>
>Hope this helps!
