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.

Women may experience pain and discomfort from engorgement.
