Dear all: I often find that there is an overdiagnosis of oversupply. Mothers will come into my groups having been "diagnosed" with oversupply, put on block feedings and their babies are actually taking small amounts from each breast. In these cases, they may also have a fast flow, but it all comes out at once. Tamping down the supply doesn't help and sometimes even hinders the situation because the baby is often choking, but still never getting enough. With oversupply that has been verified, I do find that block feedings and thorough, but infrequent pumping does work to tamp down the supply. I have not yet ever had the frequent short pumping work for these situations. So there must be something quite different in either our observations or our diagnoses. Best, Susan Burger *********************************************** Archives: http://community.lsoft.com/archives/LACTNET.html To reach list owners: [log in to unmask] Mail all list management commands to: [log in to unmask] COMMANDS: 1.
