Fast flow milk/too much milk

Tay • Mama of two beautiful babies 💗💙 friend of God

Hi ladies,

I've been scrolling through your posts praying I'll find someone to relate to but it seems like people have more trouble with low supply, which I'm sure is as if not more traumatic than too much

I love such a fast flow of milk that I practically drown my LO at feed time. She coughs and chokes on the milk and it is the most depressing thing ever. I feel like I'm traumatizing my child 😢. Feeding is supposed to be comforting and calming for babies but instead mine is crying and fighting for her food 😭

She also HATES a bottle so I feel stuck. My husband initially said we should give her a bottle but I really wanted to stick it out then yesterday when I said I want to give her a bottle he said he spoke to a Dr friend who said babies are more likely to hve colic if bottle fed. Like wth??? So basically now I feel guilty so am bf/drowning my baby. Also she doesn't eat a lot (probably exhausted) so she is CONSTANTLY on the boob nibbling and I'm confined to my room.

I just feel like a freaking failure.
