Milk coming out of her nose?!!

So, I'm feeding my DD 3 wks lying down and as she feeds, milk is dripping out of her left nostril- quite a lot- made a puddle on the bed - is this ok? Am I doing something wrong? Surely the milk is going the wrong way, it should be going down not up??!!

This is normal - it can be a sign off particularly high supply, but it isn't a cause for concern, afaik.

Oh, thank you!

There was a thread yesterday on exactly the same thing here. It can be a sign of high supply/forcefull let down but very very rarely it can be a sign of a cleft uvula (the little dangly bit at the back of the throat).
