Hindsight is always 20/20, so I'm not criticizing your management of
this case at all. Oversupply moms are more prone to mastitis, so I'm
usually cautious about this. I usually use Diane Wiessinger's procedure
for oversupply to gradually decrease milk supply. First, I recommend
that mom bf on one breast per feeding, unless baby clearly wants more.
Next, she feeds on one breast as many times as baby wants during a 3
hour period, and then uses the opposite breast for the next 3 hours
(unless the baby goes longer than 3 hours, then she uses the breast
whose "turn" it is, then uses the other breast for the next feeding,
whenever it is). Next, we stretch the time between switches to 4 hours,
then 5, until mom and baby are comfortable.
If more help than this is needed, then a little sage tea or tincture is
also helpful.
