So is this an oversupply problem, or an undersupply problem despite
the apparent symptoms of oversupply? And how to make it better, so I
don't want to scream when DS gets latched on? He seems to latch on
correctly ...he is small.

Actually it doesn't sound like a problem at all. It sounds completely
normal. Your supply will even out eventually and you won't be so engorged.
You can use lanolin on your nipples if they are sore. You don't have to
wash it off. If it hurts only on the initial latch it is probably just
ordinary initial sensitivity and should go away in 2-3 weeks. If it hurts
for the entire nursing session you might have a latch problem. The
voracious part is normal too. They really nurse frequently and for a long
time in the beginning. Hang in there. Hope you have someone to take care
of you for awhile!

Congrats on the baby :-)
