I 've been helping a mom who had a hard time getting breastfeeding going
because her infant had a terrible suck..  She used a pump to maintain a
supply.  We were able to finally get the infant totally breastfeeding but now
she has an overproduction on one side.  I suggested she pump just a little for
comfort but she quickly becomes engorged unless she pumps 2-3 ounces every
three hours.  Today I suggested cabbage leaves.  Anyone out there have a
suggestions for management?  Anyone use herb teas?  The baby has a difficult
time on that breast because of the intense let down.
