Hello Ma’am I think you are having some misconception it’s normally you’re saying that more you feed the more you produce is the same manner the more you express the more the body produces so it’s fine if you still don’t want to express you can start using a nipple shield as it is going to protect your nipples in the best manner and maybe your child is having an early teething  which is why all these things are happening
