i think its because its flowing too fast, that has happened to Tyler and then he pulls off to get a hold on his self, then my milk just sprays all over his face lol my mom warned me about this lol ↑

i've used every hold with the same effect...she does better with the football hold but she doesnt like that hold that much ↑

It's because you smell bad.

j/k

Kaden used to do that too b/c my milk was so fast. He still does it now with his sippy cup :| ↑

you can feed laying on your back on had good milk supply and had to feed that way, its very difficult. ↑

I had that too. Look up Over Active Letdown on the internet and it will give you some tips on how to make it easier when she feeds and if it's a huge problem it'll tell you how to make it so you don't spray/leak so much.

I found leaning back when feeding the easiest. ↑

you can pump a bit off first so it doesn't choak her. Also make sure that she is doing it due to the fast flow, because some babies just have a residual amount of slime in their throats and that can cause them to gag too. This was the issue with my friend roxanne's baby. she would gag when eating and even sometimes when she was jstu sitting there. she had to take her to the dr and they used a long suckie thing to get out some of the excess gunk and it solved the problem. ↑
