OK, I have a new one -- at least for me. I have a mom who was (not so) blessed with oversupply with her first baby. We worked through it. Now she has twins. She was told by the hospital lactation consultants that in order to make enough milk, she would need to pump after each feeding, which she did diligently until she called me, reminding me of her history. So she stopped that several weeks ago. Well, today she called, and the babies are drowning! They choke, sputter, get mad, pull off, and vomit. In the normal course of events, I'd have her nurse only one side each feeding, pumping the second side only to comfort. She likes to nurse simultaneously -- but I wonder if for a few days, she should nurse both babies on just one side, and then the second side for the next feed, alternating which baby gets to go first. I've suggested sudafed, compressing the areola slightly to compress the ducts so that it decreases the overwhelming let down, for a couple of feeds pump off the first couple of ounces (though don't do often as she can increase supply -- but at least it would make the babies more comfotable), and take a lot of peppermint altoids. Any other suggestions, oh wise ones?
