Does anyone get painful letdown?
My lo is 7 1/2 months and i still suffer from painful letdown where it makes me wince and have to put pressure on my other boob to make it more comfortable. It isnt very painful like it used to be as i have got used to it but its still pretty uncomfortable for those first few 10 seconds or so. I thought i wouldn't be experiencing this so far on?
Just wondered if anyone suffers from this too or am i odd?! xx

Sorry, I haven't been much help as I think you were after answers from people who've been feeding for longer than me :roll:
Hope that helps

My HV is lovely but i find she isnt very good on bf advice and the breastfeeding group i go 2 is finished now until next year but will mention it to the support worker there nxt time... it was just one of those random things that got me thinking when i was giving my lo his bedtime feed. I mentioned it to my other bf friends and they havent experienced it. Ive googled about it this evening and it may be that i im one of those that produce slightly too much milk maybe? it may also be partly the reason why i've come down with mastitis 3 times before as i seem to be prone to it but thankfully i know at the moment it isnt!
Thanks ladies
Boobs really are amazing - I love the thought that at this stage a baby grows so well on just booby juice. My lo had his first taste of something different this week (calpol after his jabs) and he wasn't impressed!
And the shields - am reluctant to use the reusable ones as they help spread thrush and we had it. So now I change the disposable ones after every feed .....
