I just think that she is getting way too much at once and ocassionally choking and then very shortly after spitting up tons.......it jsut started the last 2 days......it seemed fine before that. Is this all part of engorgement and will even itself out? I just don't like her getting so much at once and then puking it all up

Anyone?

Totally normal. Your body has no idea how much to make at this point, so it over-produces. Do not pump unless it's completely necessary at this point. Sometimes, you may need to get a little off the top just so she can latch on, but don't try to empty it out. It will even out in a few days or so. The choking is normal, too. Not fun, but normal. hug.gif

So when it evens out can I start pumping sometimes?

Yes. Typically, they say to wait to start really pumping until your supply has settled down a bit. Just remember, whatever you take out will cause your body to say, "oh, this is the amount I need to be making." Just don't get yourself into a situation where you are constantly over-producing.

In my very short stint of breastfeeding I had this problem - I was so engorged I pumped and it just got worse and worse and hurt more and more - and I pumped each time not knowing it would make the oversupply worse - I was told by my ped to use cold cabbage leaves on my breasts to help with the engorgement pain to get through it - unfortunately I didn't have very good support when I tried to BF - I wish I knew some of this stuff....good luck I hope it settles down in a few days for you................. hug.gif hug.gif hug.gif

Jen, in the beginning, I would always manually squeeze (lack of a better word) some out before latching the boys on. Or lay a warm washcloth over your breasts, have a let down, and then latch her on. It will even out. hug.gif
