So its been 6 days since DD was born and my milk has now come in abundance. I met with my MW today and learned I should have been draining each breast at a time, but I have been doing one breast for some (indiscrimatate) time then rub her back for wind and then changing the breast leaving milk in the previous breast. I had thought I should be using both breast per feed like I see women do with older babies. I also have been giving her small comfort feeds if she gets upset at being put down which helps her drop off to sleep. Sometimes though if I've left it some time she continues to want to drink and hence stimulating more milk production.

Hence now my breasts have heaps of milk and a baby that can't drink it all. I've got hard lumps on the fuller one and I'm worried what that may mean.

Feeling a bit stressed about it. How can I better control my milk production now I've created this problem?
