Dani,
How frustrating for this mom! How does baby nurse at night? Try baby
nursing on mom's chest/tummy while mom lies down. This might help with
overactive let-down. Let gravity take hold of that milk supply.
If mom is high-anxiety as you describe, what calms her down? Does a bath
help? How about co-bathing? What brings on the anxiety? Who else is
there to help her? Is there music she finds soothing? I personally
found Priscilla Herdman's "Stardreamer" (sorry for the advertisement)
helpful for both of us (i.e., it puts everyone to sleep).
Lots of luck with this anxiety-provoking situation :-)
