Milk....Yikes!

So breastfeeding is crazy, if the baby doesn't eat like every 2 1/2 hours milk just starts dripping out and if I am feeding him on one side milk starts coming out of the other! I've already gone through a bunch of nursing pads but luckily I haven't had engorgment yet and it doesn't hurt. Also, I can't feel a let down reflex like you're supposed to, I guess the milk is just right there, which is a good thing because he really likes to eat.
