Oversupply? Baby choking and sputtering.

My LO is almost 4 months old.  For about the past week, she has been choking and sputtering at the breast. She also pulls away often and fusses.  I've always known I have a forceful letdown.  I never leak or spray, but she certainly has had issues in the past at letdown.  Her stools are more green than yellow (I think I also have a foremilk/hindmilk imbalance).

My concern is that she seems to be averse to eating now since it's such a chore for her.

We recently started daycare and so I am now pumping 2x/day while she is there.

Anyone have any tips on how to work through this?  I have an appointment with my LC but not until next Tuesday.

In the meantime, I am going to try to express a bit of milk before she eats so that I'm not overfull and I will also try block feeding.

TIA

    Try and feed her in either an upright possition or with her on top of the breast (you reclining back). This is what my LC suggests.
