I often see oversupply or hyperlactation as more problematic than low milk supply because

with low milk supply, there's pretty specific things we can do to increase milk supply.

It doesn't always end up that a woman does get to a full milk supply, but with oversupply and

hyperlactation, it can be really hard to reduce it at times. People could call either one of those babies lazy, and these babies that she's talking about could also be called lazy, but they're not lazy. There's a problem, and the problem is they're 36 and 37 weeks gestation. They are not even ready to be born. Not all obese and midwives or nurses recognize that when a baby is born before 38 weeks,

they don't breastfeed well most of the time. You have to give these babies time.

And this is the Down to Birth podcast.

Childbirth is something we're made to do, but how do we have our safest and most

satisfying experience in today's medical culture?

Let's dispel the myths and get down

to birth.

Hi. No one knows the joke, do they? It's probably something they've been with us long enough
