I've been trying to feed my newborn with nipple shields or expressing and topping up with formula. Now my milk has come in and I'm painfully engorged - I think because she's not getting much when latched on even with nipple shields.
I want to continue expressing a couple of times a day and giving formula the rest of the time. I've accepted she's not going to latch on successfully. If I express for her just twice a day will I stay permanently engorged or will things eventually settle so I'm just producing enough to meet demand? If so, how long before it settles?
Thanks
