Don't feel letdown

MrsWhiteToBe · June 2015

I don't feel it when my milk comes in. I have a good supply, but I don't feel the letdown feeling. I know not everyone does, but my family is bewildered because apparently it's such a unique feeling and they all warned me about it. Anyone else weird like me?

I almost wish I didn't feel mine because mine is so intense it is painful. And it happens anytime my daughter whimpers.

I didn't realize you were supposed to feel a letdown

I don't feel anything...

With my first two it wasn't painful, but with my new lo it feels like bricks coming down. It really hurts

I don't feel my letdown but I can tell when it's there based on LO swallowing like mad (I have a strong letdown). Kind of glad I can't feel it. Most people I hear talk about feeling it say that it's painful. And I have enough pain from LO clamping down trying to slow it himself.

Didn't feel it at all with DS1 but with DS2 it feels like dulled down bee stings. Ouch!

I didn't feel it at all until this week (LO is almost 5 weeks). Not sure why it changed other than I've been low supply and feel like it's starting to build up a little more now. It feels like a mild stinging. Not painful thankfully!

I didn't feel it ever with my 1st. I feel it this time though.

I don't feel it either.

I didn't feel it with my first and so far not feeling it with my second who is almost 3 weeks old.

I don't feel it either... so glad I'm not the only one.

I only notice when DS starts spluttering (strong letdown), but don't generally feel anything.

I don't feel my let down, and my breasts never feel full vs. empty..

I didn't start feeling it until the beginning of the 4th week (DS is 5.5 weeks now). Feels a tiny bit burn-y and heavy, but not bad.

I just feel a strong tingly feeling and didn't know til like a week ago that that was my "letdown". Also, is it just me or is that weird vocabulary to use to describe milk releasing? Lol!

I'm now 3w4d postpartum and I've JUST started feeling it. Feels like really painful pins and needles. I hate it!

My aunt said it felt like cold water rushing down from her shoulders, so maybe that's why it's called a letdown. I agree it's a weird term. I think some people still get creeped out by the thought of humans producing milk so they don't like saying "my milk came in" *eyeroll*
