The 2nd I don't usually get much milk out of but I still pump for 20 mins. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-let-downs-do-you-have#post-236663 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 19:04:46 +0000 mrsjazz 236663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always have 2 when I pump (I pump for 15 minutes) but sometimes I've had 3. I can have way more with LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-let-downs-do-you-have#post-236659 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 19:04:10 +0000 yin 236659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use to have 3 letdowns each pump session as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-let-downs-do-you-have#post-236657 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 19:03:54 +0000 mediagirl 236657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: haha! I only feel that tingly sensation when I need to pump. I never feel it while pumping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-let-downs-do-you-have#post-236652 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 19:02:13 +0000 winniebee 236652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Haha I didn't know either, until reading about it on hellobee. I can feel my first letdown really distinctly. Then the other two I can still feel but it's a different sensation. Out of curiosity I look down and see it spurting again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-let-downs-do-you-have#post-236647 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 19:00:10 +0000 mediagirl 236647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly? I have no idea. I didn't even know what a let-down was until I googled it.... Someone should have read up on breastfeeding before having a baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-let-downs-do-you-have#post-236637 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 18:57:34 +0000 winniebee 236637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I first started pumping, I used to have 1 real let down after about 15 seconds of pumping. Sometimes I would have a second letdown that lasted only like 10 seconds (maybe around minute 10). </p> <p>Now, I have been pumping exclusively for over 4 weeks. I noticed I now have 3 letdowns! One right away that lasts about 5 minutes, one around minute 7-10, and one around minute 15-18. The second two letdowns are not nearly as long as the first, but last about a minute. I used to poo poo pumping for 20 minutes, but not anymore!</p> <p>How many let downs do you have? </p>
