Even if you hadn't just done a lovely job of describing a classic oversupply situation, it is a more common and more easily solved problem so it makes sense to rule it out first (by treating it--relief of symptoms after appropriate treatment is diagnostic). Even if both are true, relieving oversupply may increase tolerance (by reducing intestinal irritation and improving cell wall integrity) to the wee bit of foreign protein the baby encounters. It will be interesting to see what happens to the left (smaller) breast, but since the putative problem is oversupply, undersupply (of both breasts in total) is not a concern. We cannot simultaneously worry about having too much milk and not enough milk.
