hello My name is Gerri Boland and I am a maternal and child health nurse in
Victoria, Australia
I am a bit confused.
If a mother has a low storage capacity,baby will be feeding frequently. From
what I have read the advice should be short frequent feeds because milk is
not produced during suckling ( or little is produced)because of reduction of
blood supply to breasts during suckling.
However there is also the theory that the degree of emptiness of the breast
is related to the rate of synthesis of milk. I find that many bf experts
recommend to let the baby drain one side, to leave baby on for as long as
he/she wants ( sometimes 45 mins) and to only offer the second side if it is
wanted, regardless of storage capacity.
From what I have read this would be the correct advice to give to a women
with large storage capacity, but not to give to a woman with low capacity.
ie I believe it would be best for her to give short frequent feeds. Am I
correct?
Gerri
