re: how much worse does it get the second+ time around?

Quoting Mama Lizzy :]:" <blockquote><b>Quoting ♥Daenerys:</b>" How? I produced SO much milk with my ... [snip!] ... an oversupply. I had an oversupply and didnt pump....I was engorged quite a few times....hoping it didnt do too much damage"

I actually only pumped like twice, and hated it, so never tried again.

The only thing I remember helping is when she started eating more solids and I cut way back on breastfeeding, and then I slowly weaned her. But I just remember going through soooo many breast pads because I would soak through them left and right. I also remember several times I came home from being out for a few hours, and the pads, my bra, my shirts, everything was just soaked in milk.

Thank you for the link btw! I'm hoping it goes better for me this time, my SO gave me hell for giving my LO formula last time... and it was really hard on me not having his support.

Maybe you could pump and donate the milk to a needy baby? If you have a persistent oversupply I mean
