    Oh, the schedule thing is not for moms who have physioligcal OER, (what you appear to have) it is for moms with normal supplies, who are scheduling, and causing an IMBALANCE in the foremilk and hindmilk. What you have is NOT due to scheduling, but just something your body does. Some of us have really strong reflex muscles in our milk ducts, as well as prodigious milk supplies, so we SHOOT milk, which is good, because it keeps the supply up, but bad because it can upset the baby.

    Luckily we have treatments for it now. I didn't know I had this until my second baby was 10 months old. I was reading one of the few lactation texts available in the late 80s and it was like *SMACK* THAT'S what the problem is!!!!
