Totally flipped my husband out, haha

We were talking about breastfeeding, much to his chagrin, and I was talking about how milk comes out of kind of different holes. He literally had no idea, and was rendered speechless for a few minutes. I guess he thought it was like a bottle with just one hole. I wouldn't have known that before pumping, so it was funny to traumatize him with my experience.

LOL DH didn't realise this either unil he accidentally provoked it.....

For the recod he also just recently told me to go drink a bottle of corn oil to get the kid out...uuuhhhhhmm NO.

LOL. DH discovered this last time when I would get engorged and just start spraying. Sometimes I would spray in multiple directions and be able to hit several feet away. (Thankfully that phase went away)

haha... he's about to have a lot of eye openers. It's fun to see their reactions.

I, too, had no idea!!! Yikes!!!

I was anticipating 3 holes, LOL, simply because I had my breasts pierced for the 4 years I was in college.. and, though they are very much closed, I've read that I will still lactate from those holes.. but, 15??! Woah!! LOL.. that's a little intimidating!!!

Its really cool to watch when you pump and you get a good let-down.

Its when you start squirting out a ton of milk while pumping. Think of it as releasing the flood gates...

When you nurse and the pump or your little one latches on, it signals your body to release the milk and that's the let-down. The milk is let down to your nipple and it's a sensation you can feel as well, sort of tingly all through your breast. At the beginning, the milk can actually come out on it's own without force if your body is signaled to let down (sound of a baby crying is the #1 reason).
