I am a massive over supply mum and I hate it - I am constantly leaking and my breasts are always engorged. I feel my whole life is either devoted to DL baby or pumping milk. How do I handle this?

Here are some tips to help reduce supply of milk: Feed your baby with one breast during each feed; this will help to improve the balance between the foremilk and the hind milk and will gradually encourage the body to produce less milk. Try to change your position while you feed; try to lean back slightly and support the baby’s head so that it is elevated above the nipple. You can also try lying on your back or your side, as the reduced power of the downward force of gravity will help to slow down and control the flow of milk. Wait a while after your baby has finished nursing on one breast; if they still appear to be hungry and wanting more, offer the other breast. If they don’t seem to want more and are full, do not offer the other breast. Relax and stay calm during the letdown reflex, when the milk will come out quickly and erratically; you can absorb this milk in a towel and then latch your baby onto your breast after this initial ejection. Wind your baby more frequently if you feel that they may have swallowed a lot of air during the early stage of the feed if you notice them gulping, they will probably have taken in lots of air. Avoid expressing milk unless you absolutely have to; the body works on a supply and demand basis, so expressing will cause the boy to produce more milk. Try drinking sage tea during the evening; sage contains oestrogen, which will help to reduce the supply of milk.
