I am breastfeeding my 7 week old baby, and think I have way too much milk. He sleeps 6 hours at night and by the time he wakes I am always swimming in milk. He then only takes one side before going back to sleep- 3 hours later at his next feed, the side he didn't feed from is literally spraying milk across the room!
At the moment the night feed and early morning feed are very difficult, my baby finds it hard to cope with the harsh let-down! It is hard for him to latch which makes it painful for me. I have tried expressing a little off which does make that feed easier, but it certainly hasn't solved the overall problem.
Does anyone know what I can do to calm my supply down?!

Is it possible that I am simply producing too much milk?
