I only know it's happening because I can see that it did (when pumping) or I can hear Xander start gulping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-your-letdown-1#post-1002967 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 06:19:26 +0000 hilsy85 1002967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, its somewhat painful almost like a cramping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-your-letdown-1#post-1002964 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 06:17:27 +0000 Trailmix 1002964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes and like others have said, it's a slightly painful, tingly sensation... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-your-letdown-1#post-1002879 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 03:56:00 +0000 Penny Lane 1002879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes, and it was borderline painful! I could feel it start right back in the milk ducts, like tingly pressure. then I would feel it move up towards the nipple. it was like my nipple was swelling, and had pins and needles at the same time. very weird feeling. it gradually got less and less as LO got older. I think I noticed it was gone at 5 or 6 months? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-your-letdown-1#post-1002874 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 03:50:54 +0000 Sweet T 1002874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always did when I nursed DS. It was almost a cold tingling sensation and it was very strong. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-your-letdown-1#post-1002856 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 03:26:57 +0000 Pepper 1002856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get the tingling/pins and needles feeling when I need to feed LO, but I don't get it when I start feeding him, if that makes any sense. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-your-letdown-1#post-1002813 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 02:17:49 +0000 LaineysMom 1002813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tingling..

It doesn't really happen when nursing anymore, just when pumping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-your-letdown-1#post-1002036 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 20:50:18 +0000 heartonastring 1002036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I has tingles the day my milk came in but have felt NOTHING since then :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-your-letdown-1#post-1002025 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 20:48:46 +0000 lovehoneybee 1002025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did for about 6 months. I would feel like...like the way your stomach drops when you go down an elevator? Then I would be hit with a wave of almost unbearable thirst...I would be near tears if I didn't have a water bottle within arms reach...and then finally it would tingle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-your-letdown-1#post-1001991 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 20:43:28 +0000 shopaholic 1001991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, very much so.
