    I ended up feeding lying on my side with bub lying on his side on a towel - that way it could just splurt out of his mouth without him choking.
    It does get better - bub copes more easily and things get less splurty.

    Kate at this stage you don't need to worry about making it worse or increasing your supply further by expressing a little before each feed. Your supply is being very much hormone-driven.

    The good news is that once your body adjusts to the amount of milk your baby needs this will slow down.
