I have just had my third baby. He is seven weeks old. I suspect I have had an overabundant supply with two of my three children. With my newborn I have tried nursing on one side only while allowing my milk to spray into a receiving blanket once let-down occurs, but this hasn't seemed to help.

Some moms seem more prone than others to produce an oversupply of milk.
An overabundant supply can cause various problems while breastfeeding. These babies 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.
