Last night LO slept really good! I block feed so before he went to sleep he nursed around 7:30 on the left side. He nursed at 2 on the right. I didn't think he would go for a long stretch after that so I didn't worry about the left but he ended up sleeping until 6:30. My left hadn't been emptied in almost 11 hrs. It was so engorged !!! I hand expressed some before feeding him.

I feel like my over supply has started back up again. All of a sudden he had two days of green poops so I really was diligent about making sure he got to the hind milk. Today we are back to (bright!!!) yellow poops but they are very stringy. Like he ate a spool of thread haha!

All that to say, my boobs just feel ...weird. Kind of achy and like they are never emptied fully.

I've gone back to uphill nursing and letting down in a towel. I don't want to pump and encourage more production because that may be what got me here in the first place. Should I just tough the engorgement out and wait for it to regulate. Hand expression doesn't encourage more production, right ???

I was pumping a freezer bag (5oz) every day and also a bottle (4oz). I'm cutting the freezer bag for now and just going to pump his bottle each day when DH feeds him.

Blah. Am I handling this right ?
