Dd2 struggles during let down when milk comes out too quickly for her. She splutters etc and gets v upset too. Been trying to leave an hour gap between successful feeds as situation much better when she's properly hungry rather than just wanting to suck (she's VERY sucky). Also been trying to lie back during feeds, but not always practical. Tried expressing milk at beginning of letdown, but again, not always practical. These things haven't made much difference.
She's putting on weight ok at the moment, but with dd1 we had the same problem and had to switch to formula at 14 weeks as every feed averaged a very stressful (for her mainly!) 2 minutes, and as a result my supply suffered a lot!
Am really hoping that as DD gets bigger she will be better able to cope with let down. She is a much better feeder than dd1.
Any tips would be fantastic, and would love to hear if anyone has been through the same!
