It was a great help to me with bub number4. I had heaps and heaps of milk and it slowed the flow down a lot when required.

You mean to use your posture to reduce the flow ?
I always found the best breastfeeding advice on kellymom.com

Is ithis the method where you actually lie on your back and put baby on your breast so the milk dosn’t flow into baby’s mouth so quickly that baby can’t swallow quickly enough?

Never heard of it, but I’d be inclined to say that if it works and there are no safety issues, go for it.

Glad to hear some are still doing it. It really makes sense.

Not sure if it’s a no-no, but I certainly know of people that have had excessive milk and fast flow do it.

It worked very well for me when I had bub no 4 . It slows the milk flow down when you have too much milk! But my bub no 4 is almost 37 years old now! lol!!!
