I too agree with the sentiments shared in this post and truly empathize with the complexities of new mums facing these challenges. I do, however, need to admit that I was that mum that ‘moaned about oversupply’ and am saddened that the same level of empathy isnt shared for this challenge. True oversupply is horrendous, with bubs coughing and spluttering at every feed, unable to take the force of the let down. Leading to an upset tummy from taking in too much air, reflux, an overall upset baby. Waking every night from leaking through, even with double breast pads in. Painful, hard swollen breasts when bubs slept for longer periods and couldn’t pump much to relieve them as it would inevitably result in further over supply. Then the mastitis that followed, for me, due to bubs being unable to drain the breast, but couldn’t pump much to clear the blockage as it would again lead to increase in supply. The struggle is real to breastfeed, no matter what that challenge entails. I feel understanding and empathy should be shown to all these challenges. Much love x
