I feel it usually 2 hours (almost on the dot) after I pump (since I EP), but never while I'm actually pumping. And I get the slight nausea...not like really sick...just a hint of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-weird-to-not-feel-a-letdown#post-471362 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 20:26:28 +0000 Amelieisme 471362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree with PP...LO is nearly 5 months and just started to feel it when I let down. It doesn't hurt and is pretty subtle It's just a recognizable feeling now, especially when I'm pumping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-weird-to-not-feel-a-letdown#post-471349 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 20:15:37 +0000 Smar11 471349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't start feeling a letdown until my son was 6 months old! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-weird-to-not-feel-a-letdown#post-471345 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 20:09:14 +0000 MrsMccarthy 471345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i didnt start feeling letdowns till later on in the BFing process. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-weird-to-not-feel-a-letdown#post-460085 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 11:16:09 +0000 sarac 460085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt a letdown for about a month at 4 months, and never before or after. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-weird-to-not-feel-a-letdown#post-459890 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 09:34:08 +0000 plaidpants 459890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like others have said, I do feel it but it didn't start right away. It definitely took weeks (maybe 5 or 6). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-weird-to-not-feel-a-letdown#post-459793 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 08:52:57 +0000 mamabolt 459793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't feel it until 4-6 weeks I think? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-weird-to-not-feel-a-letdown#post-459709 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 06:17:08 +0000 MrsBeachyBaby 459709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel a tingling sensation at the tips if my nipples. I thought it would feel very different. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-weird-to-not-feel-a-letdown#post-459704 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 05:26:19 +0000 hellobeeboston 459704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: I just started feeling it a few weeks ago!<br /> So at 5/6 weeks i started to feel the tingling that others mentioned </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-weird-to-not-feel-a-letdown#post-459687 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 03:24:40 +0000 immabeetoo 459687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't feel it until 3 weeks pp and its a tingle down. Def stronger nursing than pumping! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-weird-to-not-feel-a-letdown#post-459686 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 03:24:32 +0000 London Mama 459686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only started feeling it after 3 months and now it's really strong, a little painful almost like pins and needles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-weird-to-not-feel-a-letdown#post-459629 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 00:23:22 +0000 sera_87 459629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It took me a good month to feel a let down - I'd just leak (actually still do) on the side I'm not nursing on. </p> <p>Now it feels like my boobs tighten. It hurts when they both do it at the same time :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-weird-to-not-feel-a-letdown#post-459592 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 23:22:48 +0000 Beehive 459592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only feel it when I'm not actively feeding, like when I'm out and about and my milk lets down. It's kind of tingly, though it doesn't hurt for me. It does make me feel the tiniest bit nauseous though (more like losing my appetite) - does anyone else get that? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-weird-to-not-feel-a-letdown#post-459570 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 22:42:49 +0000 rawrasaur 459570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far I haven't felt it. I was just wondering how common it was to feel it earlier today. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-weird-to-not-feel-a-letdown#post-459545 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 22:23:36 +0000 eeh 459545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been breastfeeding for 4.5 months and only felt it a couple of times and when I did, it didn't hurt in my case. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-weird-to-not-feel-a-letdown#post-459493 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 21:46:52 +0000 lemondrop 459493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only feel it while pumping, it it's a tingly feeling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-weird-to-not-feel-a-letdown#post-459487 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 21:35:20 +0000 purrpletulips 459487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never felt a letdown with DD. With DS I will feel a tingly sensation sometimes I would feel it then begin dripping but sometimes I wouldn't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-weird-to-not-feel-a-letdown#post-459467 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 21:25:27 +0000 lovehoneybee 459467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: Haha yes! I started keeping a Nalgene bottle by the bed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-weird-to-not-feel-a-letdown#post-459462 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 21:21:45 +0000 winniebee 459462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as ms mini. Also I didn't start feeling it until after a few weeks and then it got very strong.....and then it got less strongff over time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-weird-to-not-feel-a-letdown#post-459443 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 21:11:25 +0000 Tidybee 459443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually don't feel anything. At the most I feel a faint pins and needles for about 2 seconds. I found out at the LC today that LO is taking 3.5 oz from one breast, so i'm certainly letting down whether I feel it or not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-weird-to-not-feel-a-letdown#post-459440 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 21:10:05 +0000 MamaMoose 459440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: yes!!! There has been more than once in the middle of the night when she latches on and I literally have to wake my husband up to go get me a bottle of water! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-weird-to-not-feel-a-letdown#post-459427 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 21:01:47 +0000 prettylizy 459427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't feel my milk letdown either, just a milky mess </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-weird-to-not-feel-a-letdown#post-459386 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 20:41:27 +0000 mediagirl 459386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I I didn't and don't feel it when breastfeeding or pumping. I would feel a weird tingly sensation about an hour after bfing or pumping on the early months, though. I never understood that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-weird-to-not-feel-a-letdown#post-459291 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 19:04:28 +0000 SleepyMonkey 459291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i didn't feel mine let down until about a month into breastfeeding. like some pp, mine feels like this tingly sensation and sometimes it is accompanied by a pressure like feeling when the let down is very strong. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-weird-to-not-feel-a-letdown#post-459276 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 18:56:28 +0000 sorrycharlie 459276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>what the other ladies said - some people don't feel it, but if you're dripping, you're definitely letting down ;) mine isn't *painful* but definitely uncomfortable! like when you have intense pins and needles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-weird-to-not-feel-a-letdown#post-459271 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 18:55:01 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 459271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only ever have it when I'm actually nursing. When milk leaks throughout the day into my breast pad, I never feel it...yet the pad is wet so I know I did letdown at some point. Be gla you don't feel it- in my opinion: it hurts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-weird-to-not-feel-a-letdown#post-459265 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 18:52:30 +0000 matador84 459265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't feel it until we had been breast feeding a few months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-weird-to-not-feel-a-letdown#post-459219 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 18:09:51 +0000 Running Elley 459219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never feel it on the side that I'm actually nursing on but the other side (the not being nursed on side) always gets a feeling that I'm assuming is letdown- a tingly, almost painful feeling! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-weird-to-not-feel-a-letdown#post-459212 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 18:06:14 +0000 hilsy85 459212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very normal not to feel it! Mine hurts, so I kinda wish I didn't :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-weird-to-not-feel-a-letdown#post-459204 Thu, 20 Dec 2012 18:01:30 +0000 lovehoneybee 459204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Besides the leaking my letdowns are accompanied by an intense wave of thirst. </p>
