Help! DC2 is 5 days old, milk came in on day 2 and hasn't stopped, she is feeding Well, lots of wet and dirty nappies and only 3% weight loss 2 days ago. She feeds regularly day and night. But, my let down is toe curling and makes it hard to deal with the toddler as it takes me breath away, I've been pumping to take the edge off and already have a stash in the freezer, I look 70mls off one side this morning and she's fed from it for 20mins and it still plump but not rock hard full.
How on earth can I slow down my supply? I could probably express enough for the next year over the course of the next few days.
I've been trying to take as little off with the pump as possible and have been applying ice packs to make them more comfortable but unless I start feeding other people's babies to deal with the supply I have no idea how to manage this!
