Ways to avoid it repeating I started out nuring my first child but it seemed I had too much milk. My breasts dripped constantly and still my son would nurse around the clock if I let him. I am trying to get pregnant and I intend to breatfeed. I am hoping to have a better experience and would like to know if there might be something physiologically wrong.

Some moms seem more prone than others to produce an oversupply of milk.
An overabundant supply can cause various problems while breastfeeding. Babies whose moms have a very abundant supply may be very fussy during a feed, pulling off the breast, especially as the milk ejects. Sometimes they gag and choke while nursing. They may seem to always be hungry. These babies often appear to dislike breastfeeding.
