Hi all
I have deleted the original post so I am sorry if some of this has been
covered.

How old was the baby??  Is this early days or after 10-12 weeks?

Is it possible that this mum also experiencing other signs of oversupply
during the day eg baby pulling off at the first letdown, gagging , milk
coming out nose , difficultly keeping the baby attached during feeds or
frequent frothy poos?  If so have suggestions such as letting the baby feed
off one side only, feeding off the one side for 6-8 hours (maybe even longer
and includes top ups, and comfort suckling) before going to the other side
for a day or two before alternating sides again?  I personally would make
these types of suggestions and enquiries before herbs or cabbage leaves.
