Hi ladies

Little Barnaby is 7 weeks old and all is settling down well with the feeding, except for one issue.

I experience severe letdown pain in both breasts usually once or twice between every feed. Perhaps 6 times a day in total.

The feeling - like both boobs are badly bruised and somebody is punching and squeezing them mercilessly. Definitely a conversation stopper! It usually lasts 30 seconds, so it not just fleeting.

Strangely enough the pain is not as bad when letdown happens while B is actually at the breast, it is the in-between pain that sucks! You know, I'll think about him or hear a crying baby or have a change in temperature and BANG the pain starts following by milk flow.

I don't want to dose up on painkillres or walk around with hot packs as it's not constant... not sure what to do or if there is a bigger problem there?

Thanks in anticipation
