Sage is known for having a drying effect on milk supply.

Has she tried just letting the baby nurse and when the active let down happens just letting it absorb into a diaper or something, then putting baby back to breast?

In 4 weeks her child has gained 3 pounds,  she was seen in our Lactation clinic last week for reflux.  The lactation nurse and speech therapist found that in a few mins that the baby was having trouble dealing with the fast and abundant flow of milk.
