ouch let-down!....too much milk?

[tinytoes]

ooh, it doesnt feel nice when let-down occurs (I'm guessing this is it) and there's no baby attached. Why does it happen at random times - like yesterday when I was ironing?! And just now wathcing CSI. Feels like someone is squeezing the life out of the milk-mchines!!..
And if I take a peak down there I just know that milk is leaking.
I'm assuming this is normal??...Its about every 2 hours if I havent fed baby.
Beginingto worry i'e too much milk...baby always dribbles lots when he feeds like he's being over-loaded!?...
and he has gained lots of weight recently..
maybe I'm just a worrier?!

Your body is still trying to find equilibrium. And it sounds like baby is still trying to sort out growing

Hang in there another couple weeks will do wonders for that full feeling AND for the arbitrary letdown.

As an aside, if I haven't fed baby for a while and my thoughts just HAPPEN to settle on baby for one nanosecond, chances are I will let down... Too bad I can't override whatever makes me clam up when I'm trying to express .
