Yes, Jean, now I remember.
Well, you understood well. When I have a mom-baby pair that suffers from oversupply, often combined with over-enthousiastic let-down, I suggest mom to pump both breast as empty as she gets them, without "dry-pumping" for minutes. Then the baby will nurse on one of the seemingly empty breasts and will, perhaps for the first time, experience a really pleasant nursing session, without choking and drowning-fear. His stomach is not overfed and his GItract does not have to cope with an overlaod of sugar that is not balanced with a good amount of fat. He can easily digest the smaller amount of milk. Then mother starts "block-feeding", deviding the days in blocks of 3,4 or more hours. In hard cases mother may need to do the pumping again in a couple of days. These pumpings will get more and more spaced, untill milkproduction is levelled to the need.

Warmly,

Gonneke van Veldhuizen, IBCLC, LLLL, MOM
