OMG, PLEASE tell me this settles down eventually? I know I should be grateful to have lots of milk but its become a battle to get under control at each feed - I can't even feed in public as it makes such a mess, I take expressed bottles instead.
Baby boy is 4 weeks 3 days old and every feed I have to express a tiny bit off and press a muslin against the nipple to slow the flow, or he gets a shower and screams after the feed because hes gulped too much air in trying to handle it.
I'm block feeding and leaning back when I feed, he takes bottles of EBM but I'd rather keep him on the boob for convenience. My boobs regularly feel hard and slightly uncomfortable.
Can things still settle at this stage, or am I stuck with it?
