This is kind of embarassing when it happens, but does anyone else literally squirt their LO in the face, or squirt across the room when LO pulls away? I feel like a firehose
Yup! Over-active letdown... I've been there. For me, it regulated over time and hasn't been a problem since LO was probably 4 months old. LOs will get used to it and become better able to manage the flow. I'd keep a burp cloth or small towel on hand at every feeding to catch the squirts and any extra milk that spills out of LO's mouth. Nursing in a side lying position also helps and so does leaning back and having LO be more on top of you- gravity slows the flow.
