DD is just over5 weeks and doesn't latch on quite right, though its better than it was. Since she's figured out that she has to flange out both lips, she's become quite dribbly - the milk spills out of the edges of her mouth as if she's not forming a strong enough seal. I don't think I've got super fast let down because I've never had milk shooting across the room, so I think it's her latch.
This only happens once during a feed, the rest of the time she's either feeding ok or squirming and pulling back (tends to be after she'sfed for a few minutes already) which makes methink my milk is very stop starty.
Has anyone else experienced the dribbling? Can I just ignore it?
