xp: tandem nursing twins, overactive let down?

jennifery22

So I've been tandem nursing my twins since they were born. It was going great, but for the past week and a half they have been incredibly gassy, fussy, and grunting like crazy. When they nurse, I can hear them gulping, sometimes they even choke and have to let go, etc. From what I've been reading, this sounds like it could be an overactive let down. Has anybody had any experience with this? How can I remedy it?

Today we tried giving the girls bottles of pumped milk, and they were like completely different babies. They weren't gassy or fussy. Even BOTH fell asleep on their own (drowsy but awake, something that they did before this all started happening). This really makes me think that this has something to do with the problem, but I don't know for sure what it is and how to fix it.

I don't get all that much when I pump, and I know I won't be able to EP. I would much rather just EBF, but I also want my babies to be comfortable. Any help or advice about this would be great! TIA!!!
