My little one is 11 days old.
Im breastfeeding and in the day he will be latched for about 10 minutes, and he does the same at night time but it varies from 10 minutes to about 30 minutes. Im leaking a lot from both breasts as well.
Occasionally he will cough and follow up with a gag after about 5 minutes on the breast, Ive googled what this could be and it says I could be producing to much milk and baby could be getting full quick and that's why he is coughing and following it up with a gag.
Has anyone else experienced this? If so what did you have to do?
He also coughs and gags randomly, but not all of the time its just occasional.

Yeah you could be having a let down during feeding...have you tried pumping?

It's likely due to when you let down, babies are still learning how to feed in the first 8 weeks, as Tiffany has mentioned you can try pumping or hand expressing first but it made no difference for my little one she just did it on a bottle too, she just needed a day or two to adjust to the flow of the milk.
I saw this on tiktok the otherday which was helpful to hear.
