Milk coming out of nose??

Hello all :) my 11 week old is ebf, feeding generally going pretty well. But for the last couple of weeks, every time she feeds milk comes out her nose! Wtf?! Is this okay, or should I be taking her to the Drs?
It doesn't seem to bother her in the least, she's definately swallowing, breathing fine if a wee bit snuffly but it's freaking me out a bit. If I sit her up a bit it's not so bad, just a little drip, but if she's lying down its literally pouring out! Which is frustrating as I love feeding lying down, she's still eating every 2 hours at night so it's the best way for me to get any sleep.
Erm... anyone else?!

I think this is something that mite be worth getting your doctor to look at just to make sure.

The throat and sniues cavity's are all connected, do you have a forcefull letdown?

Thought this old thread might help.

Sorry, didn't answer; I don't think I have a forceful let down, I've never leaked at all and she takes quite a while to feed, there is occasionally a bit of a spurt if she pulls off though.
Have made an appointment at docs: after this morning's quite spectacular nose-leak which prompted this post, she now has a little bit of milk coming out of her eye ffs. Is my baby hollow??! Trying not to panic as she doesn't seem at all bothered but as I'm a hypochondriac at the best of times it's easier said than done!

Having the same thing with my 7 week old so please do update when you've seen the doctor. Hope it's nothing serious for both of us.
