S/O BF'ing letdown

Amanda mentioned it feeling prickly for her. What did /does it feel like for you? For me it's more like a feeling of the milk rushing quickly through my nip. It was a relieved feeling hormonal wise earlier on. I would often release a big breath of air during letdown as in being relaxed.  Physically more of a tingly, rushing feeling, but not all over the boob. Just in that central area.

    Right before my milk lets down I feel really thirsty and sort of icky for a few seconds (the feeling icky part has mostly gone away)  then I feel a tingly sensation like my boobs are filling up sort of.

    I'm not currently BFing, but I remember it being the same "tingly, rushing" sensation that OP described. Maybe with a bit of pressure from the sudden increase in flow, but not in a bad way.

    Mine's less tingly, more pressure, but it's definitely all over the breast, not just the nipple.

    Yeah, tingly sensation all over the breast area. It was always a relief because I knew the milk was flowing and DD was getting it. But, I would call the feeling more unpleasant than pleasant.

    I used to get soooo thirsty. Not now though.

    That's so crazy. Like Amanda said, it was annoying. The feeling was so relaxing for me!

    When I used to breastfeed, the letdown was always painful.  Just a sharp pain.

    Feels like a giant sharp pin being stuck into my breast. Awful.

    I guess I would describe it as a tingly feeling in the breast area only, but it's not uncomfortable at all and it only lasts for a second or two.

    Mine feels like liquid rushing into a brick wall. That's the best way for me to describe it. It doesn't happen at every feeding. It was very painful early on.

    I haven't felt letdown in a while, but it was always a pins and needles feeling, almost painful, but more just uncomfortable.  I had a pretty hefty supply back then though.  We are only doing 2 sessions a day now, with the occasional random one thrown in there for comfort, and I think we may go drop morning soon.  She doesn't ask for it right away anymore, and I think she'd actually just take wcm.  It makes me kind of sad.

    I never felt letdown. I had a great supply but never knew what was going on until lo started gagging on my milk.

    I always described mine as a full body orgasm. Not really, BUT I would feel it in my nether regions from my contracting uterus and then it would travel all the way up to my breasts & out. It was a weird feeling, but a good feeling. That's the only way I've ever been able to describe it.

    stinging.  mostly concentrated at the nipple.  i don't really feel it when i'm actually nursing (the suction of baby's mouth is a much stronger sensation), usually only when i'm about to wet through my shirt.

    I am so late here lol but like I said before, for me it was a prickly sensation, like pins and needles right in the nipple. Then my armpits would prickle. I hated that! Haha. But yeah, like a pp said, it was more unpleasant than pleasant, and on the edge of painful. Thankfully the feeling didn't last long though.
