Hyperlactation syndrome

Hyperlactation syndrome is a condition where breast milk overflow occurs because of increased milk production.[1] The milk may come out fast and forcibly, making it difficult for the baby to nurse well.[2]

Symptoms for the mother include breasts that never feel soft and comfortable, even after feeding, mastitis, blocked ducts and sore nipples. Elisabeth Anderson-Sierra broke the Guinness World Records of the largest breastmilk donated by an individual recorded to be 1599.68l[3]
