Weird letdown issue?

Has anyone else noticed that when they beggin nursing LO on one side that the other boob immediately begins to hurt or feel tender?

Re: Weird letdown issue?

  • Yes - If I'm very full like first thing in the morning I will get that deep uncomfortable feeling during letdown on the other side.

  • Yes both boobs let down. Normal I assume... i didn't have this problem last time as I had a baby for each boob. I just push my hand against the other boob until letdown stops in it.

                              

  • Glad I'm not alone. Thx!
  • Yes!! I let down on both sides every time. I've decided to take advantage of it and pump the side that LO is not on. I've built up a nice back up of milk this way. Some people have also suggested "milk savers" to me to catch the let down but I haven't tried them.
  • Mine let down on both sides every single time-I assumed this was the usual...I find it interesting that others only feel it on one side!

  • Yep. I wear a nursing pad or stick the pump on the other side. Otherwise I soak my shirt
  • My other boob leaked in the beginning. Now my supply is regulating and the other boob leaks when we miss a feeding or at work.

  • I also have a letdown on both sides while nursing. I can feel it coming and get this weird tingling sensation.
