Should i pump?
My baby girl is 9 days old, and getting plenty of breastmilk, she was born at 6 lb 13 oz, lost 5 oz by 3 days, then my milk came in and at 1 week she was 7 pounds. I feel like i have an oversupply though, she can only take from one breast per feed and doesn't fully empty it, then the other one has to wait for another 2-3 hours and by that time it HURTS. Im hesitant to start pumping because i saw a lactation consultant a few days ago and she said to definitely not pump, as it will make me have an oversupply, and that my milk will regulate by 3 months. But now the problem is way worse, baby unlatches often and chokes and milk sprays everywhere, it's crazy. Im not sure what to do. Should i feed her on one side while pumping the other? Or will that make me have a worse problem? Ftm if thats not obvious lol
