3 tips for overactive letdown. 💦 ✂️ Clamp down: Use the “scissors” hand pose to clamp down on your areola and slow down the milk flow. This way, your baby can drink at a more comfortable pace. 👶🏻 Laid-back nursing: Let your baby rest on you, belly to belly, and allow them to root for the breast themselves. This helps slow the flow of milk into their mouth, and it’s super comfortable for both of you! 🍼 Haakaa: Collect excess milk during letdown using a Haakaa breast pump and save it for later

Forceful or overactive letdown can make breastfeeding feel really hard for babies. If your baby is sputtering, choking, or struggling at the breast, it’s usually not that they hate breastfeeding. They’re just having a hard time handling the flow. Try laid back breastfeeding, pump, or hand express for a couple minutes before latching. 💬 Do you get that pins and needles feeling with your let-down? ➡️ Text/ Call: LATCH to 724-885-2824 and my team will help you set up your virtual lactation consult

If your baby is coughing, choking, clicking, or getting overwhelmed while nursing, it probably isn't because your letdown is overactive. Overactive is forceful spraying milk during the letdown, sometimes with a burning, shooting, or stinging pain. If there are a few sprays or fast drips, that's normal. Laid back positions won't help much if your letdown isn't the problem. Were you told your letdown is overactive? #2024baby #maternityleave #workingmom #breastfeedingworkingmom #milkbooster #exclus

Some babies pull off, cough, or even give you that look, but with time, your flow and their rhythm usually sync up. Have you dealt with this stage yet?
