dd is 10 weeks and bf has gone very well, no issues apart from a fast let down (just let it spray past for a few seconds). I seem to be making more and more milk, I've started leaking and getting engorged again. DD can sleep 6-7 hours at night and I wake up with concrete breasts, in the day she can go 4 hours between feeds and sometimes I wake her up for relief. I'm getting a slightly painful let down and more and more I'm getting in the day from being full, I need to wear pads again. My normal b/c-cups are in a 34FF and it looks comical on my frame.
Is there anything I can do? Dd never wants the other breast, she barely drains one which adds to the time discomfort between feeds. She's eating plenty, storming up the centile lines and a new fat fold weekly it seems. She eats until she's sick every feed. I've been reluctant to express as I don't want to make even more but I'm considering it for relief. I'm scared of mastitis as I keep going hard and lumpy.
