Frkls - boobs?

I was also overproducing and my main advice is that you MUST stop pumping. What helped me was to feed only one boob at a time. The other one would either leak all over the place or explode from pain, but you tough through it. It really helped, because each boob would get 3-6 hours with no feeding, and would slowly regulate to produce less that way. I had similar issues, choking, throwing up, etc, because it was just way too much milk.

Yup, no pumping (or only if you feel clogged or a lot of pain), and try one boob at a time. That took care of my oversupply. After let down, unlatch and let the milk spray into a burp cloth. You won't choke the baby with milk once it slows.

so, mooselovah. do you live near moose? why do you love them?

one time, a moose got its antlers stuck in a rope swing at my husband's house (when he was a kid) and it was getting super pissed and animal control came out and shot it with a tranquilizer so they could free it and the tranquilizer was HUGE, but the guys ran in, cut the rope off and then RAN back to the house in like 2 minutes. the moose popped up and roared or whatever loud nose they make and ran away.

anyway, they're giant and powerful.

I know you already got your answer, but I wanted to weigh in too. I also had major oversupply issues. I am a SAHM and B never took a bottle (would flat out refuse them) so I never bothered to pump much. She went through weeks, though, where she would be throwing up because she wouldn't sleep unless she was nursing and I had so much milk she just couldn't handle it. I started block feeding and within a week it was so much better. I wound up having to nurse on one side only for 4 hours before switching. I kept her on only one side overnight.

It does get better!
