Oh, yeah, that. lol completely normal! Also, the milk that comes out first is known as foremilk, and the milk that comes last or later into the feeding, known as hindmilk, contains the fattiest milk, so losing a lot of foremilk isnt a bad thing, because its high in sugar and the hindmilk ia whats really important for her. So, while its a pain in the butt, its normal to get soaked. One thing I do is keep a burp cloth nearby in case my boobs start spraying out of control when I stop to burp him or something. Makes for easy clean up. ☺
bf is so stressful, I worry about every little thing and constantly stress on whether she's getting enough. I know it's worth it and I'm gonna stick with it though @sarahemccormick
It can be stressful, yes, but you're right - it's so worth it in the end. All the health benefits alone make it worth it. As long as you are changing 6-8 wrt diapers a day, and 3 or more poopy diapers a day, she is getting enough.
You give a certain amount of time where you only feed from one side. So say you choose 3 hours, for 3 hours you feed from the right side, then the nxt 3 hours you feed from the left. You continue doing that until you're on track.

Yes, it happens. I usually pump to get whatever I can out and put it in the fridge or freezer for a bottle feeding .

@sarahemccormick, it sucks because I feel like so much is wasted while she eats because by the time she's done we're both soaked in milk :(

Pumping ill make an oversuppy worse. Block feeding will help correct it. You don't want an oversupply, it cam cause many issues.
