I have been merrily nursing my twins since march. We have had no real problems but the last two night I have woken in agony with engorgement on the right side and leaking.
The girls sttn so don't feed but they haven't done do since they were 6/7 weeks.
I don't understand why I am engorged all of a sudden. Any ideas? And what to do to avoid it?
 
The last 2 days, I've woken up and been super engorged and leaking on one side! Not normally a problem for me! I think what's been happening with me is that LO has started eating a little less. He normally eats both sides every feeding, and the last few days he's been finishing one side, and refusing the other... and he's been sleeping in a teeny bit longer in the morning. So my supply must be a little ahead. I hope it doesn't take too long to regulate, I hate having to get up at 4:30 a.m. and pump some off! The only other thing that has changed is that I've been eating a lot of oatmeal granola bars the past couple days as well, but I doubt that it could affect my supply that much that fast? Who knows? :shrug:
 
I am a lactation cookie junkie but haven't had any for over a week. I don't get it. I have twins so they are working full on on each side. Hmmmm. I suppose as long as its not blocked ducts or anything sinister pumping at 4.30am it is!
