I dealt with overactive letdown and overproduction with my first. Even with block feeding, I was always on the verge of engorgement. We found a pretty good system when I was feeding baby directly, but pumping always screwed things up. At work, I could only pump for about 10 minutes twice a day during a 12 hour shift... or I'd end up completely miserable for a few days afterwards. It took me about 6 months to realize that.

I'm due with baby 2 in a few weeks... and I'm growing more and more nervous about going through this again. Does anyone have any personal stories or advice dealing with overproduction with their second baby after having it with their first?

I've been interested in using a silicone breast pump instead of an electric pump to see if that would cause less of a problem. Anyone have experience with those and overproduction? I feel like everything I can find just talks about increasing supply.
