It was super timely for me....and very encouraging! Right now, I'm in the process of weaning Anna (who is now 5 months) to formula. I've never exclusively bottlefed a baby formula. My first got bottles of breastmilk while I worked, but nursed the rest of the time.

The second seemed to not have any problems with pain, but my fourth was very colicky!

My problem right now is that I can't stay awake!!! :) We usually do a feeding like this at least once a night. <br /><br />The funny thing about all this that I didn't put in the post is that though she shows all the signs of milk imbalance (and I def. have the overactive letdown...)

Thanks so much for sharing this post. I...Christina,<br />Thanks so much for sharing this post. I'm glad that you are working through this issue and not just giving up. I find a lot of the articles on LLL website are good. So is talking with a LLL leader. There is a SUPER GREAT LLL in Wake Forest named Donna Gilbert that I would recommend to anyone and everyone.<br /><br />I also just wanted to say that I had a good experience Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10067831645040029841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-452802329695708276.post-61019776354813033032011-07-12T09:36:51.425-04:002011-07-12T09:36:51.425-04:00I also have too much milk and overactive letdown. ...I also have too much milk and overactive letdown. I'm still struggling with it some (he is 5 months). My baby would chomp to restrict the flow and one doctor told me to thump him on the cheek (my 1 week old). I found helpful info on LLL and then worked with a lactation consultant. In addition to feeding from only one side, they also suggested feeding lying down. It makes HUGE difference.Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09724549925673919216noreply@blogger.com
