Did you know about oversupply?

Did you know that many women experience an oversupply of milk during the first days of breastfeeding?

Many women worry a great deal about whether or not they are producing enough milk for their babies, but a large percentage of mothers actually experience an oversupply of milk. This can lead to certain breastfeeding issues, especially in the early days, just after their babies are born. These issues can include difficulty latching, and the baby being overwhelmed by the fast flow of the milk. There are certain techniques to help equilibrate milk supply such as block feeding (feeding on one breast for more than one nursing session), and positions that can help the baby deal with the milk flow.
