BF moms- do you still feel a letdown?

JavaVino910

As I was nursing DD this evening I realized that I haven't felt the 'letdown' sensation in a long time. I didn't feel it when DD was a newborn, but I consistenty felt it from about 3 months to 9 months. Just wondering if it's normal that I no longer feel it.

ETA: I'm only BF-ing DD three times a day now (morning, after daycare and before bed)

Its not quite as pronounced now, but I do still feel it.

I used to feel it every single time.  The prickly sensation went all the way to my armpits... so annoying!  I don't feel anything anymore, though, and haven't in quite awhile.

I haven't felt it in a least a few months

I EP and still feel it most pumps, but it is not as pronounced as it used to be.

I still do, but it takes longer and it's pretty mild. We are only nursing at bedtime and first thing in the morning now.

Still BF'ing quite often, but I almost never feel let down anymore. I felt it very strongly for most of the first year and then it just faded away and I'm not really sure when that happened, but it's at least been several months since I've felt it regularly.

I felt it last weekend when we were out of town and DD was so distracted by the new surroundings that she did not BF often one day - I was engorged the next morning and felt let down several times that day.

Sad reading this post. Stopped bfing back in April and now hearing this I suddenly miss that feeling.

Only nursing 1x a day at this point and just last week I didn't feel it for the first time.  Now several times since then I haven't felt it, probably about half the time.  And the times that I do feel it it's definitely not as pronounced.

I do, yes.  I also still get engorged, still leak sometimes.  It's sort of ridiculous.  I was thinking that all wouldn't happen after 15 months!

Yep, this for me too.

Nope and not in quite some time.

Yes, most of the time. I almost never get the full feeling anymore, though. We're nursing twice a day.

I used to all the time. Now, it is rare.

I do. The only exception was when I had a drop in supply a few weeks back.

I feel it if we've gone longer than usual without nursing.  If we're out of the house and M is having fun, she will forget to nurse- so then I'll feel a letdown when we finally do.  Or if she happens to STTN (or only wake once) although it's been a while since she did that!
