Sometimes I can see another happen when I am pumping but I don't feel it. If I am nursing I feel the first and during a long feeding I only know I get a second because I can hear him gulping! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-and-letdowns#post-750512 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 12:29:58 +0000 ladyfingers 750512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't feel my letdowns, but I feel like DS triggers a couple sometimes, but usually only one. When I'm pumping I can get up to three in the morning (just know from seeing the output). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-and-letdowns#post-750482 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 12:15:10 +0000 tororojo 750482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1-2 when BFing. Have never pumped past 1! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-and-letdowns#post-749636 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 06:08:39 +0000 SleepyMonkey 749636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i have at least one when LO is nursing during the day. when pumping, i wait for the 2nd letdown. when nursing LO right before her bedtime, she'll fall asleep and i'll have like 5-6 letdowns (1 big one, a few small ones, another big one). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-and-letdowns#post-749449 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 20:44:56 +0000 pl0508 749449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never have any idea when I let down ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-and-letdowns#post-749392 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 20:04:38 +0000 ALV91711 749392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I don't feel it either. I haven't pumped yet, so I have yet to see anything. My goal is to start pumping this week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-and-letdowns#post-749342 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 19:30:25 +0000 LaineysMom 749342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have 2 letdowns when I pump. 3 if I have extra time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-and-letdowns#post-749341 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 19:29:35 +0000 LaineysMom 749341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: for me it starts to really spray out.. I can see it spraying and the whole end of the Falange has milk running on the inside. I can also hear the milk hitting the rest of the milk in the bottle. Hope that kind of helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-and-letdowns#post-749326 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 19:15:14 +0000 blackbird 749326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely don't get a sensation while pumping. In fact, after the first two minutes on the pump, I get sort of numb on it. I just don't really feel much at that point. Like the pump is uncomfortable for a minute or two, and then i'm just indifferent to it. </p> <p>when you say you see it, what do you see? I just feel like I see "drip, drip, drip". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-and-letdowns#post-749307 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 19:01:35 +0000 autumn865 749307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I know it's different for everyone but my letdowns feel like a tingling sensation. It doesn't hurt but its not 100% comfortable either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-and-letdowns#post-749280 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 18:43:03 +0000 Smurfette 749280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I can't tell either </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-and-letdowns#post-749272 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 18:36:45 +0000 tinyperson 749272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I can't tell either when I'm nursing. When I pump (once a day), I can tell a little easier, but only by looking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-and-letdowns#post-749243 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 18:12:25 +0000 blackbird 749243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Man, i can't tell at all when I'm having one. I just get a constant, very light dribble the whole time that eventually adds up to an ounce, maybe, so I'm not seeing anything significant that makes me think it's a let down. </p> <p>Is it an obvious thing? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-and-letdowns#post-749237 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 18:08:33 +0000 Kemma 749237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely feel the initial letdown quite strongly and Miss A's sucking pattern will change to indicate a second letdown even though I don't usually feel it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-and-letdowns#post-749231 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 18:00:37 +0000 immabeetoo 749231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never pump past one but I have felt three when he's nursing. Usually only one though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-and-letdowns#post-749207 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 17:35:28 +0000 yellowbird 749207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always have 2-3 when I pump. When nursing I only feel one. She's pretty quick though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-and-letdowns#post-749195 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 17:23:01 +0000 runsyellowlites 749195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes I don't even feel my first letdown! I have noticed when I pump I'll usually have 2 though..... which I only know I had the second one because I saw it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfing-and-letdowns#post-749191 Sun, 28 Apr 2013 17:19:57 +0000 autumn865 749191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When you BF or pump how many letdowns a do you have?</p> <p>When my LO was younger I would have multiple letdowns of milk on each side. Now at 8 months I only feel and see her eat through one on each side( maybe because she only feeds 10 minutes tops on each side versus her newborn marathon nursing). Just curious other people's experiences! </p>
