I have a 87 days old baby. When she feeds on my left side breast, the milk comes out forcefully and she refuses to drink that side. When I told people at home to store the milk, they said no to it. How to feed her so that she doesnt struggle while feeding?

Hi op,
when you say for forcefully, u mean from you left breast is it ?
if yes ur saying the flow is fast, you can try to reduce the speed by holding properly the nipple that is inbeetween your index finger and middle finger.

or you can squeeze out few drops before you feed then the let down might be less.

Gae3,

My cousin also suggested me the same but problem is I have slightly bigger breasts and I am not able to control it that way. yes its in the left breast.

Fine. I will squeeze out few drops before giving. Thanks for the suggestion.

Hi Cutiepie,

Please massage breast well before you start feeding the baby, and as suggested please hold the nipple as suggested by Gae3. Pumping would be a very good option, if you donot want to store it, try to pump and give the milk immediately to the baby. Feed the baby in a seated position and hold the baby little upright, let baby not be in lying position.

@cutiepie Try to keep the baby's head elevated while feeding. This was a tip given by a lactation consultant when I faced the same problem with my son. It helped me a lot.

I tried it Ramya but in vain. She is refusing to drink. She completely avoids the left side. I dont even care about my breast pain but I want my baby to get sufficient milk. I am really worried about her.

Has this always been the case cutie? Or is it this way since she cold?

Cap,
Looks like an over active letdown issue. I used to pump and then feed the baby to reduce the intensity of the letdown. It just made me produce more and made matters worse. Try unlatch it the baby when you feel your letdown, use a towel to absorb all the milk during the letdown and then latch the baby back once the flow has stopped. In a few months, your body will learn to regulate supply with what your baby needs and your let downs will become less forceful once your supply drops to the amount needed by the baby. Look at this link by LLL - LLLI | Oversupply This may help you with some of the feeding positions for Overactive letdown.
