bobbies making to much milk??

[clairebear]

i think my right boob makes to much milk for my little jack he can latch on to the left one easily and drains it but the right one he latches on then comes off and lets the milk spray everywhere and makes loads of mess then once the hindmilk comes in he is able to stay on. i think the foremilk in the right breast flows to fast for him xx

Mine was the same - for some reason Sam seemed to prefer the left, and he'd always come off the right side and get squirted in the face! He's able to keep up with the fast flow at the beginning now though. Keep a breast pad or towel next to you to soak up the fountains when he comes off, and put him back on when it stops spraying everywhere! Once your milk supply settles down and Jack gets more used to the fast flow at the start it'll get easier x

He'll learn to handle the flow after a couple of months. Sometimes expressing a little before a feed can help, as can feeding in a more upright position

Awww "over active let-down" is what they call it I think. Your lil one will learn to control it hun, my right one does te same thing but now my lil one has it under control, LOL it's her fav side now...

LOL@ mini facial, I bet if you bottled it and sold it as some miracle facial product you make a mill!
