After a rocky start with BF I exclusively expressed for 2months (combined with occasional BF eg 1feed every 2days but sometimes less often as baby rejected breast a lot). He's now 3months.
2days ago I managed to get him back to BF (a long battle of wills and lots of screaming each time until he realised bottle was not an option). Now he is accepting breast and BF happily without fuss. I give him a bottle last thing at night (expressed milk) as it helps him sleep through and his 6am feed is also a bottle.
Problem is I think I have oversupply as my breasts are agony and engorged. When will this settle? He feeds from breast every 1-2hours and I block-feed to prevent lactose overload. I'm expressing with a hospital-grade pump morning and night (used to be every 4-6hours when EE).
Should I express more? I don't want to empty them too much in case he doesn't get enough.
Also is it normal for a 3-month-old to feed every hour? He used to have a 150ml bottle expressed milk every 3hours.
