A possible reason for the milk coming from the nose is an oversupply of
milk or an overactive let-down.  Does the milk just run at the beginning of
the feeds (with let-down) or through out the entire feeding?

This paragraph with ** is copied from the Australian Breastfeeding
Association webpage.  The link is also listed below.  **As your baby gets
older, other signs(of too much milk) can include milk dripping out of his
nose or the corner of his mouth, pulling off during the let-down when milk
will spray from the nipple openings, or lots of possetting. Perhaps you
have a normal supply but a very fast flow. Your baby will probably ask for
the second breast each feed, weight gains will be adequate, but your baby
may be pulling off at the beginning of the feed when the milk is spraying
(letting down). **
