My baby girl is 14 days old...we seem to have finally got the nursing down. However, when I am feeding her, the other side leaks SO much! I have to use breastshield things cause I have slightly flat nipples...these darn things FILL up with milk and I spill milk every time I lean over...plus, it is SO annoying to wake up at 2am with my shirt SOAKED. Any advice? Should I pump the "off" side or will that just make more milk and compound the problem? I tried the pad things but they reflatten my nipples and she can't latch on...please help!!

Check out the site below. Le Leche League International is a great resource for breastfeeding moms. There are articles on almost anything you can think of or have problems with.
Most areas also have a local league and you can connect with other bf mom's in your area which provides a great level of support. Email me if you need anyfurther information!

I'd suggest you go ahead and pump. Yes, this will increase flow, but very shortly your baby should catch up to whatever you can provide.
