What does letdown feel like?

crawtater

I have these random tingling (uncomfortable, but not painful) feelings in my boobs that last 30 seconds to a minute, but NOT right before/right when I'm feeding DS. It's actually usually an hour and a half or so BEFORE I feed him, and my boobs don't leak or anything when it's going on. Is this letdown?

FWIW, I don't feel anything like this at all when feeding DS--actually, I've never felt anything in particular when feeding him (other than, y'know, DS eating). Can you have letdown throughout the day, or is it only when you're feeding DC?

Yes it is the let down. I get them about the same time after nursing. I also feel them about 30seconds after DD starts to nurse and sometimes during nursing if she nurses for a long time. I  leak every time so you are lucky that you dont. I hope it stops soon I hate it. How old is your DS? I did not start to feel the let down during feeding until DD was about 5-6weeks old.

5 weeks. I've been feeling it for a week or so now.
