Riley's feedings have started stretching out some, and now I am ending up with over-full breasts between feedings. Last night my left breast was horribly horribly painful, so I pumped it without draining it - it was still painful (though slightly squishier). I later nursed on it anyway, because babies are better than pumps at fixing such problems, but he got very fussy, spit up, was hungry a short while later, etc. (Classic oversupply signs). Just now DH was changing his diaper and found green poop for the first time ever.
Now both breasts are starting to feel overly full. What do I do? Do I pump to drain them and make them squishy? Do I pump just a little to ease the pressure and then let him nurse on a still-lumpy breast? The advice online seems rather inconsistent I'm afraid.
Any advice you have is much appreciated!
