~~~tHe jOURney of ThE BREASTS~~~ (Part IV)

So what now?
What happens now is… big mama here has oversupply/overabundant milk problem…
Sabishii~~~~~~ T_T
It started around 2 weekends ago,
Little baby started crying during nursing, in the afternoon..
Later I found out, it’s because of this “forceful let-down” (I’m not going into details on all these terms, as it can be google’ed)

For around 2 weeks, every evening, both of us are as frustrated as each other…
She cries, but she’s hungry, I tried all positions… most of the time… she cries…
She’s giving all these colic-like symptoms (oh ya… after today’s check, it’s only colic-like, not colic… phew…)

The problem with oversupply and thus forceful letdown is…
Well… at first, I was still trying my luck, by maybe ‘forcing’ her to latch on… by pressing on her little head (aiyo!!! Poor little thing)
But then… I realised, forceful letdown… it’s just like
1. When you watch movies… the bad people force something down your throat when they capture you, and tie you up… arggh… nobody likes it
2. Or, when somebody takes a pipe and spray on you with jet of water… arrghh… I don’t like it either…
So… it’s like baby has to deal with this type of “situation” almost every evening…
Poor little thing…

That’s why, some mothers wish they’ve more milk.. but fulltime nursing mother like me… probably hopes that, I’ve slightly less milk…
And guess what again??
As of this evening, we found that, she’s a drop of greenish stool in her diaper…
After some ‘research’… hai… it’s foremilk-hindmilk imbalance…
However… luckily, I managed to find some ‘resolution’ on the internet…
And I shall try the remedies…
