I would not recommend that mom try to decrease her supply at this time. If she is becoming exhausted or overwhelmed, she could cut back slightly or take a longer stretch at nite. Is she taking a longer stretch at nite? As someone else posted, often moms w/ infants hospitalized long term experience drops in supply. She can freeze her milk and use it months later. If her nipples are very painful and cracking, possibly due to a too small flange size, she might need to cut back a little until that situation resolves. Lucky and good that she has this abundant supply right now. Laurie Wheeler, IBCLC, MN, RN New Orleans Louisiana, s.e.
