I can't wait to get my pump!! My breasts are so engorged, I was looking up on the Internet and turns out I have an oversupply of breast milk. That might be why my daughter is so fussy, but I think pumping will make it worse??

I agree with you. I think pumping will make it worse. I think your body will regulate itself.

how old is you're daughter? if she's under 6 weeks your body is still regulating your supply if you pump you will deff create a oversupply and have to continue to pump regularly other wise you'll still become engorged. you can hand express to help with the discomfort. hand expressing doesn't stimulate you like a pump or baby does so it won't cause you to make more milk

@mamamills @steph11 They are right. I found out when my child was 2 weeks old. I had 11+ ounces in each breast and it was a horrible experience. I would have so much milk that it was high up in my chest, right under my shoulders. I stopped pumping and I am so much better. I've never been engorged like that anymore unless I'm out with a tight bra for a while. Your baby is just young and they sleep so much it seems like they never eat. It'll get better.

@junesmommy15, I didn't find out until 5 weeks postpartum they told me to pump in the hospital to get my milk to come in because my daughter has jaundice. I had a terrible over supply I've had mastitis 3 times! it's awful. took over a month to get my supply down basically just to fed her. I pump every now and then to have a little in the freezer to donate again and I'm uncomfortable for a week from 1 pump session it's rough!

@steph11 Yeah it took a long time for my supply to regulate. I just donated all of that milk I had pumped to a little girl name Anna. I don't pump at all anymore because I'm scared. I never get really engorged anymore though. When I do I hand express. It's a: wonderful feeling!😊I'm so happy I don't have to go through that anymore. My baby was so gassy and fussy.

@junesmommy15, I want to be able to pump once a day so I can donate to the same little baby asher! plus I'm starting to make baby food so I keep using some in that. she'll be 6 months soon so I'm going to want to have pumped milk on hand I hate pumping
