Strong letdown?
Hi all! I'm about to be 3 weeks pp tomorrow. Exclusively breastfeeding and it's going great!
A few questions. I'm not sure if it's because it could be dry but my areolas sometimes hurt when baby is nursing.
The Montgomery glandules (or whatever theyre called on the areolas?) also sometimes protrude causing nursing to hurt at first. Is this normal? It happens on my right side, and that happens to be the side I have a strong letdown on. Does a strong letdown get better? Baby will gulp and I can feel milk dripping down as she's nursing. What can I do to alleviate this letdown?
Is it normal she is only feeding about 10-15 mins per side? She has plenty of wet and dirty diapers and has surpassed her birth weight (6.12 at birth, 7.6 at her weight check last week). She seems content after and doesn't spit up.
