I had problems for at least 9 months with producing too much milk. Baby was born on 75th centile and stayed on it - solely breastfed, but I had loads of problems. Blocked ducts were frequent, and engorgement continuous, which in turn contributed to sore nipples. Tried not to express much but sometimes needed to when waking in night, not due to baby but to 'exploding boobs'. Has only been past couple of months that better. Has anyone else encountered this and is there anything to be done to help. I know everyone says it is supply and demand, but I never found this to be true - the supply was always too great. Any thoughts from people with experience would be appreciated.
