If I have heavy letdown and oversupply, should I stop taking milk-boosting supplements?

Moms with oversupply often find that stopping milk-boosting supplements, hand expressing before feeds, and feeding in a laid-back position can make letdown more manageable.

One mom with similar issues stopped taking milk-boosting supplements and noticed it helped reduce her heavy letdown.

Hand expressing a little milk before feeding and nursing in a laid-back position can slow the flow and make it easier for baby to handle.

If you’re unsure whether to stop supplements, check with your gynecologist or lactation consultant, especially if your baby’s latch is not great.
