Can anyone please offer any advice on fast let down and over supply. Lo is 12 days old. We are managing ok during the day with 2-3 hourly feeds feeding with me in a reclined position so lo is working against gravity and with lots of winding followng a feed. But now hes doing longer stretches between feeds of around 4-5 hours at night it means let down and over supply is more troublesome during the middle of the night feed. He gags, chokes and coughs throughout the feed and despite a good 20 mins winding and being kept in a upright position for half an hour he still spends the remainder of the night struggling with wind and reflux often gagging and crying in his sleep. I have been doing a dream feed around 10.30, previous feed around 6/7pm. Should i miss this dream feed? Should i express a little prior to his Night feed - would this slow the flow a little or end up producing more milk?
