I have this tingly/burning sensation in my breasts about 20 mins after I nurse LO. I do not feel this while breastfeeding only after I am done. Once I start nursing again it goes away. Is this normal?

    That's what my milk let down feels like. A burning sensation.

    I thought letdown occurs while the baby is suckling. I feel the burning after she is done eating never during

    It could be thrush. Try rinsing your nipples after a feed with some white vinegar and see if that helps.

    that's also what my let down felt like.  i would also feel it after feedings as my breasts "refilled" so to speak.  some women don't feel let down during nursing sessions.

    That's what my letdown feels like when I'm pumping and I sometimes feel it not long after a feeding/pumping session also. I never feel the letdown when DD is nursing, only when I'm pumping, I assume because the suction of the pump is stronger.

    I don't feel a let down when nursing, only after he's eaten. It usually happens an hour or so afterwards. I think it's natures way of reminding you to feed your kid!! hahah

    Mine do this randomly, when dd cries, or I think about nursing, or she lays on my chest. Only my right side ever gets a let down sensation during nursing, and usually only while I'm trying to nurse the left side... Which I just find weird.
