I took 8 Fenugreek capsules total, yesterday, and finally felt a letdown today. Good to know that doesn't mean no more milk. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-more-letdown-is-this-the-end#post-1610621 Sat, 03 May 2014 10:27:32 +0000 Beyond2 1610621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped feeling letdown and continued nursing with no problems. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-more-letdown-is-this-the-end#post-1610608 Sat, 03 May 2014 10:14:58 +0000 Applesandbananas 1610608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never felt a letdown and my boobs stopped getting regularly engorged around 6 months. LO is 13 months and nurses constantly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-more-letdown-is-this-the-end#post-1610588 Sat, 03 May 2014 09:56:22 +0000 Grace 1610588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't felt letdown since around the time we started solids (couple months ago). And I only get 2-3 oz if I pump in the morning. If I try in the evening, I only get 1/2 oz too. But LO is still happy and growing and I think that's all that matters. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-more-letdown-is-this-the-end#post-1610584 Sat, 03 May 2014 09:50:01 +0000 pinkcupcake 1610584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: can you remind me again how old your LO is? I didn't feel a letdown from about 7 months on, and I nursed her until she was two years old. I stopped pumping when she was six months old so I have no idea how much I was producing. If your LO is a little older (like over a year), I wouldn't worry and would just trust your body that you're producing enough. Plus, they can start drinking whole milk so if you're really worried she's not getting enough, you could offer a little milk in a sippy after nursing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-more-letdown-is-this-the-end#post-1610579 Sat, 03 May 2014 09:42:47 +0000 sorrycharlie 1610579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did not feel a letdown in the last few months I nursed, and my breasts shrunk around 7 months pp? ishhhh? and I nursed til 15.5 months :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-more-letdown-is-this-the-end#post-1610486 Sat, 03 May 2014 07:47:47 +0000 bpcmarj 1610486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I honestly can't remember the last time I really felt a let down...probably a year ago? She night weaned (generally) around a year old and I haven't felt engorged since then...even with longer than normal breaks between nursing sessions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-more-letdown-is-this-the-end#post-1610424 Sat, 03 May 2014 05:55:14 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1610424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If she's happy I would just go with what she wants! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-more-letdown-is-this-the-end#post-1610414 Sat, 03 May 2014 05:28:37 +0000 hilsy85 1610414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: same here! </p> <p>I never feel a letdown anymore. Lo doesn't se to mind and will continue to nurse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-more-letdown-is-this-the-end#post-1610408 Sat, 03 May 2014 03:50:06 +0000 birdofafeather 1610408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Meh, I haven't pumped in 6 months, haven't felt engorged since night weaning and we're at 2x a day unless she has a crazy night/day and it's a last resort. She's happy to nurse even though I feel empty so I know she's getting something! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-more-letdown-is-this-the-end#post-1610390 Sat, 03 May 2014 01:33:36 +0000 MamaJ 1610390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't felt a letdown in maybe 5 months? I haven't pumped in 6 months. LO is still nursing 2-3 times a day at 17 months old. My breast size has also gotten smaller. I wondered if there was even any milk in there so I squeezed and some did come out. </p> <p>Is she still happy? And not fussy after nursing like she wants more? Sometimes DS takes a while to nurse and sometimes it's like 2 mins. He still seems content so I haven't worried too much about it. He does drink almond milk though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-more-letdown-is-this-the-end#post-1610362 Sat, 03 May 2014 00:24:39 +0000 shopaholic 1610362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't felt a letdown in days, maybe a week even? We still BF 4xs a day since I stay at home. I've noticed my breast size has gotten considerably smaller. LO eats solids, but still doesn't drink other milk. She has a lot of yogurt, but doesn't like to take more than a sip or two of the almond milk I've offered her. </p> <p>When I squeeze, I still get milk, but when I pump, I can't even get 1/2 oz. K used to nurse 3-5 min. on one side. But even now, she will happily go 7+ min. AND take the other side as well. I've been taking Fenugreek for the past 2 days, but still no letdown. As in, no prominent gulping sounds. I think she is trying, but not that much comes out?</p> <p>Does this sound like my body is starting to wean, even if LO isn't refusing? I wasn't expecting my body to be the one to end our BF'ing journey before LO or I decided to. </p>
