I get that tingling feeling of let down every once in awhile and it only lasts a few seconds. When it does happen, I know I'm most likely going to leak out of the other boob. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-painful-letdown#post-990281 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 12:29:21 +0000 ninja 990281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally normal! I started feeling it about the time my milk supply evened out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-painful-letdown#post-990240 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 12:14:27 +0000 Bookish 990240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: @Trailmix: good to hear!

Right around the same time frame! It doesn't hurt badly enough to bother doing anything about it but it is a little uncomfortable for a few moments...I don't mind it tho bc I'm always happy that it means there's milk in ma boobies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-painful-letdown#post-990152 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 11:49:17 +0000 MamaMoose 990152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For me, this turned out to be totally normal. I could never feel let down until about a month in, but then I also started getting the stabbing/tingling feeling with let down. It only ever lasted for a few seconds for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-painful-letdown#post-990124 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 11:41:12 +0000 Bookish 990124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is about 4 weeks old and we breastfeed except for one nighttime formula session. I've never noticed the letdown before; the milk just started flowing and that was that. </p> <p>The last few days though, I've noticed when she starts feeding on one side, the other side gets these stabbing sort of pains in my nipple. (it hurts for a bit on the side she's feeding, but not as bad) They go away after a little bit, but it's just nothing I've experienced before. I haven't seen any sign of thrush, so I was wondering if anyone else went from a painless letdown to a painful one, or if there is something I should be doing to minimize the pain! </p>
