Breastfeeding – Oversupply Syndrome
The following video is of an interview I conducted with Caroline van Veldhuizen, IBCLC, regarding her research and experience with breastfeeding oversupply syndrome. I myself have suffered from an overabundant milk supply, manifesting symptoms like leaky nipples, engorgement, and mastitis, so this interview was very helpful for me to fully understand the problem and how to manage it.
Mrs. van Veldhuizen had her paper on oversupply syndrome published late last year in the International Breastfeeding Journal (IBJ). You can read an abstract of her paper, which I recently posted, or you can read her entire paper on the IBJ website. While you can learn a lot by just reading her paper, I believe that you will find the following 30 minute interview with Mrs. van Veldhuizen extremely valuable.
Please understand that English is not Mrs. van Veldhuizen’s native language. She is Dutch, and she speaks with an accent. For your benefit, I made the interview into a video with captioning, so you can better understand her and learn about this important topic.

Thanks for the vid! I’ll have to view it when i get home from work, as my cpu is hooked to the company’s stereo and i’m not sure this is the content they have in mind for sunday morning shoppers… In the interest of share and share a like, which is something I always lay on my kids, here is another post that I found helpful when i was pregnant, maybe it can help other moms out there as i assume this lovely video’d accent will me

Hi, I am also experiencing oversupply and I would like to know when a baby is going through a growth spurt do you use one breast for about 2 hours and then you switch to the other one so that both of them are stimulated to produce more milk or do you use only one for about 3 hours?
Very helpful information…..thank you!! Its good to know I’m not alone with this problem!
