My baby is 11 days old and my boobs are producing too much milk for him, it flows really fast and just pours out when he starts to suck. he struggles to keep up with the flow and then gulps and kind of chokes trying to swallow it all, this is all ending up with him having really bad wind after every feed and looking so distressed it's awful, really upsetting and tiring to see him like that after feeding. I have tried only letting him suck for two minutes and then winding him but it's so hard to get a burp out of the little guy that this just doesn't seem to really work. Does anyone else have this problem or any advice that I could try - getting a bit desperate now. I have tried nipple shields but these just make him sick after feeding through these.
