oversupply doing my head in

[babyphat]

my boobs are mental, it's really getting me down - really hard to discreetly bf in public as she has to keep coming off the boob, spraying, choking, burping, blah blah blah

doing 3-4 hour block feeding per side - feel less engorged so i guess it's starting to work really

can someone please tell me this will have settled soon? baby is 11 weeks. she is also ginormous - 15lb and on 90 somthingth percentile - i was really proud of her gain but now just feel like my body is letting me down

have advice from la leche hopefully it will do the trick. anyone else had the same issues?

It WILL get better soon - honestly. I had the same problem for about three months with DD - I'm now feeding two children and have no problem! If it gets really bad slip a muslin into your bra when you first start to feed and absorb the first bit gush then feed and you'll find it then doesn't do the geyser thing.

It does settle down, was same for me with both my dc and settled after about 3 months both times - I'm now v. v. grateful for oversupply as it makes expressing for going back to work really quick and easy! I didn't bf in public much those first few months because found spraying difficult to handle, but it's fine now (dd 5 months), so hopefully will settle for you too soon.
