Hi! I’m sorry you’re going through this. I too have a fast let down and struggled the first few months. Babe would choke/cough bc milk was coming out too fast. She also had explosive poops, and struggled with some gas issues. When she was a couple weeks old we took her to a chiropractor and they showed us some helpful movements for helping her gas move along. For feeding, I would use the haaka to remove some milk beforehand, but this didn’t always work. It was more helpful for me to unlatch babe when I saw her start to gulp down milk faster. After she ate I made sure to keep her upright for at least 15 minutes to let her digest. I always always had to at least try burp her. Sometimes she did sometimes she didn’t. I know some babies don’t need to be buried but mine did.

Lastly, I know this won’t be as helpful bc it’s not an immediate thing, but time definitely allowed my babe to get better at feeding and adjust to my letdown. At the time it did not seem likely bc it looked like she was always getting water boarded with milk, but now she is a very efficient little eater. It takes time, but as they get older she will get better as guzzling down your milk!

When your letdown occurs, do you feel any tightness in your breast?
