Hi all, Ftm here and baby is 2 weeks old today. I’m finding that I think I have an oversupply and it’s really fast for her she struggling to manage it.
From experience does it level out or anything I can do to help?
Thanks!

Are you pumping or anything?
If not, it should hopefully level out 😊

I think it takes up to 6 weeks for your supply to settle. Have you tried laying back when feeding so gravity helps?

My baby is also 2 weeks old and I noticed the same thing. What it’s helping is feeding her in a koala position, or laying back and her also laying on you flat the gravity helps with the overflow

I’ve had a fast letdown and oversupply with both babies.
Let the initial letdown off into a muslin (or whatever works for you) then latch baby.
Use biological feeding positions. Side lying, the kola hold or laid back are all great for helping baby to manage the flow better. As they get older they learn to manage better x

I had a ridiculous oversupply & a crazy fast letdown with my first baby. She used to choke and splutter so much & always had green poos! I used to take her off during a letdown and catch it in a muslin as she couldn’t cope with it. As she got older she coped with it better.
Don’t be tempted to use a haaka to take off excess- this will make an oversupply a lot worse! I think it caused my oversupply as I seem to have a much more regulated supply this time x
We’re on the fence about two names and one is from my favourite book but I’ve loved the name Freya since I can remember, Feyre is such a cute whimsical name but I also know everyone will say it wrong or ask about the book 🙈 can’t stop loving it though! 🩷 help please!

TTC. So I had sex 3 days before a coil removal .. and the night before coil removal. And now I’m bleeding like this. Is this normal. Is this a period ? Or just from getting it out

Hope everyone is doing well on here.
I had my growth scan yesterday, and originally, the twins were estimated at 28 weeks and were weighing around the same (2.9ilbs/2.6ibs) but the consultant just wanted to double check on my upper twin as they were measuring a little bit smaller than the lower twin.
So today, everything went well. I enjoyed seeing them cuddled up, and both were breached position.
They're now at 3.14 lbs, so I'm overall carrying like 6 pounds and 4.5 ounces altogether (help) 😅🤣
But I'm curious how much dud your guys' babies are all weighing at the moment or at 30 weeks.
Let me know, and I hope everyone is doing ok 🩷🥰
