Any moms on here struggling with too strong of a milk output? My supply came in pretty strong and quickly and I can see that my tiny baby is struggling to handle the output 🤪 I think it is also making him gassy. I've started trying to squeeze some of it out first and that seems to help him latch on but I still feel like it's not as comfortable for him as it could be. This breastfeeding thing isn't rocket science but it can be complicated. I've been spilling milk everywhere including all over my baby's face lol

Answer

Hand express before nursing him, lay on your back while nursing

I spent the first two weeks at home with my babies basically topless bc I have forceful letdown and I was constantly spraying milk freaking everywhere. Eventually had to start block-feeding with my son. But little girl seems to be handling it better. She still gags on my milk from time to time.

Very common at first. It's good that you're expressing some before latching, you might have to do that for a week or so. If you don't have one, get a fluid syringe. You can feed your baby the milk easily and he won't develop nipple confusion or breast aversion. It gets easier for them by 2 weeks they have to learn 😊 hang in there
