Lots of people don't! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-your-letdown#post-934125 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 20:55:29 +0000 Mrs. Bee 934125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>not anymore but olive is 21 months. i used to feel it really strongly for at least the first year. the feeling got less and less as i had less milk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-your-letdown#post-934122 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 20:54:15 +0000 heartonastring 934122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's my understanding that a lot of women don't feel it. I never have other than on the very first day my milk came in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-your-letdown#post-934025 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 20:30:12 +0000 SleepyMonkey 934025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes, but i didn't feel mine until a month into breastfeeding. mine feels like a wave of pins and needles, and pressure. not painful, but weird feeling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-your-letdown#post-934009 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 20:28:00 +0000 Penny Lane 934009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did. It was more like a muscle cramp behind my nipple than a "whoosh" though. I've always heard it's got nothing to do with your supply, some feel it and some just don't :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-your-letdown#post-933965 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 20:15:30 +0000 78h2o 933965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never feel it an my supply sucks! Only 5 oz from 3 pumping sessions at work today. :( probably worse than normal because I'm sick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-your-letdown#post-933953 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 20:11:18 +0000 chopsuey 933953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel a tingling sensation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-your-letdown#post-933944 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 20:09:52 +0000 Pepper 933944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: @grizz: Same, and it's definitely only once in awhile. Usually happens when baby is crying and I haven't fed him in a few hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-your-letdown#post-933922 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 20:04:15 +0000 Boheme 933922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel it sometimes. It's like @MsLipGloss: said... Just a tingly feeling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-your-letdown#post-933911 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 20:02:32 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 933911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did - it was like pins and needles in my boobs and I hated it LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-your-letdown#post-933908 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 20:02:18 +0000 cmomma17 933908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: I never have!

I always felt it in the other breast and it was just like a tingly feeling. </p> <p>I am still nursing several times a day at 14 months, but I don't feel the letdown anymore. Last time I did was the first time she STTN and I was super engorged. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-your-letdown#post-933802 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 19:29:34 +0000 MsLipGloss 933802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only feel it every once in a while, and it's certainly not a *whoosh* . . . it's more of a tingly sensation in my bewbs. Sometimes it is followed by a little leakage (when I am super full). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-your-letdown#post-933792 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 19:26:46 +0000 ALV91711 933792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never felt anything either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-your-letdown#post-933789 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 19:25:46 +0000 Katrocap 933789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel it in the other breast. It's not a whoosh feeling, it just feels a little strange. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-your-letdown#post-933728 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 18:59:54 +0000 PrincessBaby 933728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: Never not even once! And I think one side has a forceful letdown bc H always chokes at first on that side! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-your-letdown#post-933725 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 18:55:56 +0000 cranberryapple 933725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to feel my let down until month 10? I kinda miss it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-your-letdown#post-933717 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 18:51:47 +0000 autumnlove 933717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never felt it when I was nursing/pumping for my first but I feel it now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-your-letdown#post-933705 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 18:48:37 +0000 petunia354 933705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never felt it and I was pumping 12-15 oz per session. The LC I met with in the NICU said it was completely normal to not feel a letdown. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-your-letdown#post-933703 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 18:48:07 +0000 Bookish 933703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: I've been wondering the same thing! I don't feel anything at all when the goods start flowing, but I know she's eating! Thanks for posting, I was going to ask this myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-your-letdown#post-933701 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 18:47:28 +0000 Revel 933701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't, and as far as I know my supply is fine. I was worried but my LC said it's normal for some. I also never really got engorged in the beginning either, not sure if they're related? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-your-letdown#post-933695 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 18:45:34 +0000 swedishfish 933695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I've never felt it and I think my supply is ok. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-your-letdown#post-933693 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 18:44:51 +0000 aprk 933693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I've never felt it. Pretty sure I don't have any supply issues either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-your-letdown#post-933685 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 18:41:00 +0000 Ra 933685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always hear people say that you should feel a "whoosh" when your letdown happens. I have never felt my letdown through BFing or pumping. I am wondering if it is because my supply is low.</p> <p>Does anyone else have this problem? </p>
