Hi everyone
I just received a very interesting article in my email from the International
Brestfeeding Journal called Overabundant Milk supply: an alternate way to
intervene by full drainage and block feeding.. here is the abstract:
Background
Too much or too little milk production are common problems in a lactation
consultant's practice. Whereas underproduction is widely discussed in the
lactation literature, overabundant milk supply is not. In my practice I work
with women who experience moderate to severe oversupply syndrome. In
most cases the syndrome can be successfully treated with full removal of milk
followed by unilateral breastfeeding ad lib with the same breast offered at
every breastfeed in a certain time block ("block feeding"). Case presentations
Four cases of over-supply of breast milk are presented. The management and
outcomes of each case is described.
Conclusions
Overabundant milk supply is an often underdiagnosed condition in otherwise
healthy lactating women. Full drainage and "block feeding" offers an adequate
and user-friendly way to normalize milk production and treat symptoms in both
mother and child.
