I've never "felt" letdown--Is that common?

post #1 of 24
Thread Starter 
Just wondering if I'm in the majority or minority.

I've never felt any sensations with my milk coming in or letdown.

I've been nursing my DD for 14 months and never felt it either.

I never felt it in 22 months of nursing my son. With DD, I used to feel it every time, but don't most feedings anymore.

I never felt it either!

I never felt it with DD1. I felt it a little with DD2, and even more with DS. It was more intense with a new baby when I had some oversupply issues, and lessened when my milk supply calmed down.

I never felt it with DD1, and she nursed until I was PG again (around 20 months, not too shabby for WOH FT!)

I do feel it with DD, but not as frequently now that she's a bit older (10 months, still 95%-100% BF).

You guys are lucky! It HURTS! I feel it every time, so every 2-4 hours!

I never have either. So no one knows why, or it's just one of those things?

I have never felt it either. I wish I could I think it would be neat. I know I am letting down when my DS starts drinking alot faster.

Never did with my oldest (weaned at 28 months). I do with this baby. Until a couple of weeks ago, letdown HURT!!!! (I have several per feeding, nursing every 1-1.5 hours. OUCH!)

I've never felt it either. But it must happen, because, you know, he's still alive.

Never in 8.5 months. I have low supply. Is it related?
post #19 of 24
No I have oversupply.

I've only ever felt it a couple of times when I had a plugged duct. Other than that 3 breastfed kids and not felt let down. No supply issues.
