Overactive letdown

Best advice I have received as a ftm so far and I wanted to share with other mothers who may be struggling with overactive letdown:

Since my milk came in I would just drown my LO to where there was no way he could eat. It literally looked like a spaghetti strainer, just spraying him. I would have to pump constantly and became so frustrated for awhile I just exclusively pumped and bottle fed.

I had talked to many lactation consultants until finally a woman at our WIC office suggested I try laying flat on my back with my baby laying on my stomach, letting gravity work against my letdown.

Game changer!! ❤️
