It has been 6 years since I breastfed Kyleigh and can't remember if it is normal..It seems worse when she is feeding from the right side..I mean she has a cold, so I didn't know if that was making it worse or if it is just normal anyway..BTW,she is doing very well with it and gaining weight..she had gained 2 1/2 oz in a day.. and is up past her birth weight of 7 lbs 11 oz.. she weighed 7 lbs 13 oz yesterday..LOL..so she gained 6 1/2 oz in 5 days.. -------------------- Shawna~wife to Chris 7-28-93 Mommy to Kameron 4-30-99, Kyleigh 11-13-02 & Kassidy 1-28-09

I had that issue with Isaia. I had an oversupply and my let downs were always really strong. -------------------- Jessica Wife to Salvador 12.23.05 Mommy to Isabella 8.8.06 & Isaia 1.2.08 & Ian 8.28.09

Laydown to nurse her, like on your side, or let her lay ontop of your chest and nurse, (i know it weird but it helps). -------------------- Jessica Wife to Salvador 12.23.05 Mommy to Isabella 8.8.06 & Isaia 1.2.08 & Ian 8.28.09

I would just let him start nursing, then he'd usually back off when he started getting choked, so I'd take that opportunity to let it squirt into a burp cloth until it let up some. I also let him lay on my chest to eat sometimes, too; it really does help. I hope she gets to feeling better soon -- I hate to see babies sick! --------------------

By strangled ... what do you mean ...

If you have a strong let down then the baby could seemingly choke. I had that issue with Isaia. I had an oversupply and my let downs were always really strong.

sorry,I guess I didn't explain to well..LOL. when I say strangled,I mean like choking and takes a minute to catch her breath..I think I just have a good supply this time..

Happy Spring! Group: Administrators Posts: 27,473 Member No.: 2 Joined: 8-February 03	It's probably a combination of the letdown and the cold. Your right side must have more of a forceful letdown. I agree with the others, I would try different positions and if that does't work then just release her and squirt some off when feel your letdown. -------------------- Dee Dee , Mommy to: Ashley Marie 9/05/02 Joshua Lee 2/03/00 (Our Angel in Heaven)

Ditto.

Totally normal.
