My breastfeeding experience | oversupply, overactive letdown & finding our way

In today's video I’m sharing our breastfeeding journey in hopes it helps another mama out there. I have a major oversupply and overactive letdown — and it caused serious problems for my daughter in her first few months of life. She had constant gas and colic, her body was incredibly tense, and she eventually lost her ability to suck. My milk supply started dropping, and things got really scary. In this video, I walk you through our full story — from the early struggles and heartbreaking moments to the turning point at 6 months when things finally began to shift. I also share the tips I wish I’d known sooner about managing an oversupply, and open up about the emotional toll of it all. If you’re navigating a hard breastfeeding season, you are not alone 💛 timestamps 0:00 - Intro: Why I’m Sharing Our Breastfeeding Story 2:34 - Leaking Colostrum in Pregnancy 4:14 - Early Red Flags 5:00 - Feeling Dismissed: Lack of Support + Validation 7:10 - Coping Through the Hardest Weeks 12:20 - My Baby Lost Her Suck Reflex 16:20 - Rock Bottom: My Baby Couldn’t Eat and My Supply Dropped 17:40 - Bottle Bootcamp: Teaching My Baby to Feed Again 20:15 - Finally…Signs of Improvement 22:00 - Tongue Tie Revision 25:15 - We Made It: Finding Our Breastfeeding Rhythm 26:30 - Managing Oversupply – Tip #1: the Milk Shake 27:27 - Managing Oversupply – Tip #2: Laid Back Positioning 28:00 - Managing Oversupply – Tip #3: Throw Away the Haakaa 29:40 - Managing Oversupply – Tip #4: Block Feeding 31:00 - Managing Oversupply – Tip #5: Mint & Sage Tea 31:30 - The Emotional Toll of Breastfeeding Struggles 🌸 links The Playground App (my fitness studio) | https://www.theplaygroundapp.com/ My Prenatal & Postpartum Program | https://www.theplaygroundapp.com/pren...
