Tom Hale has suggested 120 mg/day of Sudafed to help mothers reduce milk
supply.  I have had success with even half this dose in several cases.  It
works great, and if the mother uses it for a while, it seems to permanently
down regulate her.  We had one physician-supervised trial here in Austin
where a mom took the full dosage for 30 days before she calmed down to a
reasonable level of production for her singleton baby.

Sudafed has long been considered safe for use in nursing moms (as far as
exposure to the baby is concerned).  Dr. Hale's research shows it reduces
maternal milk supply by up to 30%.  This is to be avoided in normal
circumstances, but it sure is useful in these cases of rampant oversupply
when nothing you've yet tried quiets down the overproduction.
