So I'm giving block feeding a go with DD2. I have an oversupply and a crazy letdown, and as such she's got lactose overload. What's the best way to block feed effectively? At the moment I'm doing four hours per boob. Is there a maximum amount of times I should be feeding her in that four hour block, like, should I be holding her off a bit (to help the pain) or is it okay because she's going back to the same boob? Or is it okay to feed her whenever I think she needs it? I demand fed DD1 no problems, so this is all a bit weird to me. Also, is it okay to pump the other breast if it gets really full, or should I try to leave it be for the full 4 hours? I do want my supply to settle, but I've got an hour to go and the unused boob is starting to feel extremely full, not to mention how lopsided I am lol.
Any other tips, experiences or suggestions would be awesome.
