My baby is 1 1/2 weeks old and I am always filled up. I feed him whenever he is hungry (about every 2-3 hours) but i am making more milk than he drinks. How long will this last?

I had the same question when I had my first. I b___stfeed with one b___b pumped 4-6 z out of the other one and froze it. I had two big bags full of little bags of b/m in my freezer. I gave all of it to my mom for my baby sister since my mom didn't have any and my baby sister was a month yonger then my daughter. She used it all up. With my second I didn't have anyone to give it to so I pumped very little because the more you pump the more you'll have. But a gain everyone id different. My older sister had so much the first month so she pumped and froze it. When the baby was two months old it wasn't enough what her body was making so she used all the frozen milk up for her baby. I would suggest you pump and freeze. If in couple months you won't have enough what your b___st produce then you will still have the good mommies milk to give. Good Luck with b___st feeding it's great.

I some mild engorgment until 6 weeks, when I started the pill. It subsided then and I've still been able to pump some each day on top of feedings.

You will feel like your old self by around 3 months, if not before. Hang in there, and pump if it's too engorged and he's not hungry.
