Hi DD is 18 days old and she is ebf. Recently she has started choking when feeding. I think it is because there is a lot of milk which comes out fast. I spoke to a bf support worker today who suggested hand expressing first but for how long do I do this? She also said that DD will get used to it but it has been happening for about 4 days now and it is everytime she feeds. Does anyone have any advice please on how to stop her choking?

Call one of the bf helplines and ask them about 'over supply', which this might be. Hand expressing before feeding is one option but it is a faff.....there are other things you could try instead or as well as.
