milk squirting out on its own

I had this with DD, it's well worth getting some breast shells to collect what you're leaking from your other breast at let down. IME it can add up to a decent amount over the course of a day.

It probably will stop happening at some point

yes sounds like fast let-down. i'd def follow tips on kellymom
baby is unable to cope with the flow by the sounds of it, not reflux. i used to have the same thing and had to hand express a bit off to start with until it was a bit more manageable

Sorry, x posts. I'm afraid I have no idea about (potential) reflux.

I had this too - I used to express a little until it had calmed a bit, to avoid choking the baby - it wasn't refulx for either of mine, but an inability to swallow fast enough when the flow was so strong. (BTW a friend was about to bf on a flight and managed a direct hit onto her fellow passenger - a complete stranger. Was at the beginning of the flight too)
