The worst thing about BFing.

futureslady

I can deal with nipple pain, I can deal with the leaking; I can even deal with the fact that DS gets distracted and loves to rip his head away to look at a light. What I really hate is the let down! When it first happens it feels like someone's squeezing my boobs from the insideout and my poor guy chokes from the sudden rush of milk! it's like when you're trying to get an ice cube out of your cup but it's stuck up at the top and just when you think you've got it, they all decide to come tumbling down and pummel you in the face lol. Sorry for the random rant, it's just kind of annoying!

I was just looking this up because lo choked big time during the last feed due to my let down. I'm going to try o stop pumping and limit him to one boob for. 2 hours at a time. Hopefully my other one doesn't hurt too much. The kellymom website ha some good tips...( my doctor suggested using this site)

I know how you feel.

I could just about shoot a bird out of a tree with my milk Guns(My Boobies..). TMI... lmfao. Imagine trying to drink water with your mouth over the water hose... I could imagine I would choke too. >:/ Poor things. Lol

I went through this issue (still do sometimes).  It's worst in the morning so I started nursing her in a mostly reclined position so she was kind of on top of me. This way she was working against gravity to get the milk out.  Seemed to help a lot.

Nurse in an inclined position. I have this problem too.

Your lo will eventually get used to fast letdown and won't choke anymore. Ds is starting to get used to it and doesn't choke as much.

I don't know if I have a crazy let down, but LO does choke when it lets down.  But when I have a letdown when he's not eating I look in my bra and its not squirting, just leaking.

When your baby sucks, it sprays.

MyBeanieBaby

Mine spray regardless lol

Thanks for the suggestions ladies! It gets a little ridiculous lol.

The milk guns comment is where it's at!

I spray into a towel for a minute just to relieve the pressure and then let LO back on. It's a pain in public, though.

Have you tried nursing laying back?  I find that when I nurse reclined LO doesn't gag.
