Hello to all of you,
and Breast Wishes for 2013 (it is still time...);
I have a Mom, 2.5 months postpartum, with a potential hyper ejection to
take care of;
Problem is set on the babys side.
From the beginning she had a lot, lot of milk, and from the beginning
(day 3 or 4) I had told her to empty the breast before offering it [it
had then allowed yellowish stools) and she had to finish her breasts;
2 months postpartum .. production seemed to be adapted. A good
production. No longer need to finish her breasts by pumping or extracting.
But from the babies side... arching back off the breast, choking + gas
etc... since weeks.
potential altered latch and uncoordinated suckling were ruled out,
latch and seal and suck seem good (and suck quite rapid ; I mean, I
think the situation made the babies barracudas; but being barracudas is
not enough in this situation).
Please note they breastfeed one after the other... simultaneous
breastfeeds have always been really very rare.
She was told (midwife, pediatrician, people on forums so quite a large
range of persons) to offer the same breast twice or so.... to take
ricinus communis (diluted in order to diminish the production);
Problem is: she has NO sign of overproduction; at the beginning she had
an "overproduction" that adapted by 7 weeks postpartum or so. No milk
stasis, no mastitis, no blocked duct, no sore nipples, ... and it has
been a "long" time since she does not need to pump after the feeds any
longer.
I think of overactive ejection/let down without overproduction;
Have you ever met this kind of case? Would homeopathy help, and if that
case: which remedy + dilution?
Any other idea?
Breast wishes, and thanks in advance,
Françoise Coudray, IBCLC
