Does it sound really crazy that I actually kind of enjoyed feeling a big letdown? Mine was exactly the same as described by you girls - hot, hard, pins and needles, and pain. But I actually kind of liked the feeling, maybe it was a reassurance that bubs was getting a neckful of milk and my body was working as nature intended? I stopped feeling it a few weeks ago though and now I wonder if DD2 is getting enough milk because my boobs are definitely smaller (I've lost a bit of weight and my weekly measure-in on Tuesday tells me my boobies have shrunk a good 2 inches, eek! DH better buy me new ones when bub stops using them as feedbags, there'll be nothing left!) and they never feel full anymore. But she seems happy, so I guess they're still in good working order... I just miss that initial 'gush' when DD2 latched on and settled in for a 3-course meal
