I'm pretty positive my baby over eats because of my oversupply but he's only getting foremilk (the watery milk as opposed to hindmilk the fatty nutritious milk). His diaper is always poopy and his reflux is terrible. Have any of you tried pumping for 5 minutes before nursing??? or what have you done to remedy this situation?

are you feeding on only one side until empty? I don't switch my baby unless she wants more after one side (which is rare).

Yes only one side and not until empty just until he is done. I pump 4 to 5 ounces in 10 minutes from each boob. baby is a week old @wiccanmommy

so you body is still adjusting and that takes around 6 weeks. unless you have to I would hold off on pumping so your supply can regulate itself. if you need to pump, I would try pumping for a little bit before baby.. the problem is that every time the beast is drained it signals the body to make more milk. so by pumping early you create a cycle.
