  I started trying to build a supply and made it so much worse. Go to a lactation consultant. She will be the best at helping you even out your supply and figuring out the pumping piece.
  Good luck! It's definitely not fun!

  I second seeing a LC. I've been dealing with this since DD was 4 weeks. She's now 9 weeks. I've found some things that help but im still having issues. For me, I'm actually pumping myself empty on the morning and storing that milk. Im still able to feed her an hour later and then I just block feed the rest of the day. It's hell.

  It's a tough situation because you need to pump enough to build a supply but you don't want more stimulation with an oversupply. I'd also suggest talking to an LC for the best way to balance it out. I pump for relief as needed, 5-10 mins at a time, but I don't need a stash so that's been enough.

  I did block feeding which seemed to help but I don't know how to work on the need to pump. I agree with seeing a LC. Hopefully you get it figured put soon!

  Try block feeding or nursing against gravity
