This time round my let down is bearable and just feels a bit hot and tingly. It definitely did not feel like that last time! With DS is was like someone were stabbing my nipples and areolae and it lasted ages (the let down itself and the duration till I never got it anymore whilst feeding) - it would have been about 6 months with DS at least. Nipple vasospasm didn't help, initially, but when that disappeared, the stabby sensationed remained.
With Chooky and after having Noah, my let down was like a tickle... it was kinda nice and noticeably a let down.
I think losing Noah and hating that even thinking about him made my breasts leak has made my mind not be able to think about let down or something because I haven't felt it since. So, the only time I know my breasts have let down is if Anelise pulls off and I leak everywhere, or if she is covered in milk.
I didn't feel any letdown until DD was about 7 weeks old, and then it felt like somebody was pushing a knitting needle up my nipple!! I felt it mostly on the side I wasn't feeding on. It still feels like that at nearly 6 months but hurts a lot less. Lasts about 10 seconds.
