So, since the beginning, I've had a very very fast milk letdown. In the beginning it caused some problems when my milk came in, but since week 1, my DD has been eating fine. Occasionally when the milk lets down she will choke, but then go right back to eating. Well, suddenly as of this week, my DD is practically refusing to eat. I start nursing her and she is bobbing off and on, then when the letdown happens usually she chokes and then starts SCREAMING and will not go back on. I am confused as to why this is starting now at 9 weeks, nothing has changed! I have tried expressing milk beforehand, but it doesn't make much of a difference. I have tried to pull out when I feel the letdown, but sometimes that makes LO so mad, she will also not go on. It's been every feed today like this, even when she doesn't choke, she is so tentative now. even tonight, when my DH gave her a bottle of pumped milk, she had some of those choking issues and freaked out and would not eat...what can I do?? She is so scared to eat now...and why would she be starting this now, when it's been going on since the beginning??
