Hi all,
I've been reading The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding, which has answered a lot of my questions, but I'm still pretty confused about engorgement and what to do/not do during this time. My LO is generally satisfied with one boob per feeding, and the skipped boob then feels pretty full and a little painful. I've been just living with it till the next feeding, and then giving him that over-full boob. But should I be pumping that side instead? Would that lead to oversupply?
I waffle between worrying about oversupply and undersupply with my milk. I don't want to be dealing with crazy engorgement and the problems that it can lead to, but of course I want to have enough for LO! Right now they both feel pretty full, pretty much all the time except right after a feeding. He is 9 days old (as of three minutes ago!), and EBF. TIA!
