Shabnam SheikhMom of 2 children3 years agoA. hi ..Slowing down your milk supply is a good place to start, as forceful let-down occurs when there is too much accumulation of milk in the breasts. While breastfeeding from one side, say the left side, with the palm of the right hand, press the nipple of the right breast in towards the ribs and count to five. This counter pressure, when applied several times per feed, sends a signal to the body not to let down milk in that breast.
Feed from only one breast, per feeding, so the breast can be fully emptied with the added benefit of receiving all the fat-rich hind milk. This would make them feel full and stop the feed. You can also try what is known as “block feeding”, a technique where the baby is fed only through one breast for a block of time, lasting a few hours. This reduces milk supply in the other breast before you switch the breast for the next block.
Ensure the baby is latched properly. It has been observed that babies who do not have a deep latch on the nipples, choke often while feeding. The milk which is supposed to go straight down into their throat accumulates in the mouth when babies latch improperly. On the other hand, a firm latching can help babies better handle the flow of milk.
