Hi Manta, I've been monitoring my BM supply for a day or so & reduced expressing to once daily to balance engorged breasts & oversupply. I honestly don't know if I've got oversupply, which is why I wondered about the quantity I expressed. I've quit block feeding which obviously doesn't work for me right now. I"m large breasted, does that contribute oversupply? They sure make feeding more challenging. To avoid swelling and lumps I need to express once a day.

I don't know if I flow fast at the start of feeding, but DD is a gulper, it sounds like she's trying to keep up. She needs a weigh so couldn't tell you that, but looks and feels heavier than the last weigh in.

On the wind, DD has lots of tummy grumbles, groaning & thrashing about but thankfully passing lots of gas. She has constipation for a day, then explosions for a days including a bit of foam - the ECHN said this was lactose buildup from constipation. She hasn't pooed for 3 days so her gas is getting a bit smelly now. ECHN says this is all normal & DD can be constipated up to 2 weeks ! Following forums suggestions I tried her on Infant's Friend, DD spat it out. She's been on Gripe Water for 24 hours, no poo poo.

Do I have oversupply and if so am I causing DD's wind & constipation?
Thanks for your thoughts

Thanks Peg, bring on 6-8 weeks, not long now.. yippee
