When DD was born 4 weeks ago by c section she really struggled to feed at all and I had ample milk supply. To maintain my supply or when she got the hang of things I started expressing and continued doing so in case she hasn't been growing bough and needed supplementing (took her 3 weeks to regain birth weight)
Now she's definitely growing and I seem to have a very fast let down on one side which she struggles to cope with. Looking online, perhaps it's the expressing that's contributing to this over supply and I should stop it. (also have a freezer full of milk I have no immediate need for)
Can I just stop the expressing I've been doing? I have been doing at least one session in the morning and sometimes one later too, getting 2 - 6 oz a day. Will stopping it risk my flow dwindling too much? Or bad engorgement? (bad enough in the mornings already!)
Thanks for any advice
