DD 3months 3weeks, very soon to be 4months old
I have had oversupply since the beginning which kind of subsided a bit around 1.5-2 months. However since the past two weeks or so I have again started to feel full (sometimes engorged) specially on the left side, sometimes on the right side too.
In the mornings, the fullness/engorgement is there. However it's also starting to feel the same during day time as well.
I typically nurse 10-12 times a day, every two hours between 7:00am and 7:00pm and every 3 he's between evening 7:00pm and morning 7:00am.
Sometimes on her cues the feedings are more than 10-12 a day. I hardly ever miss a chance to nurse. Even after nursing frequently I feel the fullness. It's driving me up the wall.
I alternate between both sides at each feeding with only one side per feeding. She nurses for about 10-15 minutes each feed, sometimes 5-10 if the flow is fast.
I do not pump, however hand express sometimes before feeding so she doesn't get the super fast spray of milk.
Need help as to what can be done about this. I thought by this time body will get the message and stop making excess, doesn't seem to happen so
Will pumping once a day at the same time be of any help?
