    Achey let down when feeding

    Hey,

    Just wanted to ask about the let down reflex. When DD was first born and we were feeding, I could totally feel my let down, it was tingly. The feeling faded and for months I didn't feel it happen at all. But over the past month, when I am feeding her, I get the heaviest, achiest let down in both breasts.

    Does this mean anything? Just wondering why I am feeing it after all this time?
    Thanks
    Sue x

    Hi MummaSue, this happened to me too. I really don't know why... it could be coincidence but I had nipple thrush at the time and didn't even know it. It got worse before I worked it out then went away quickly when I treated it. As I said I can't say that is what it is .... but maybe ??? Goodluck Rach x

    Hey MummaSue
    Same thing happens with my assets too. I'll go for months not feeling a thing, then all of a sudden my let down aches, or my little mans attachment kills. I have NO idea what I do differently, it just happens So just letting you know, we're in the same boat
