is it normal for milk let down to be really painful? I don't think I have an infection or anything, but I keep feeling these pains through my boobs, mostly when my milk is letting down. :nutts Is this normal?? They aren't too swollen or red or lumpy... just painful when the milk comes down. :worried

YES!!!! lol

YES!!!! lol

ouch :worried :tired any idea how long this will go on? the whole time I am breastfeeding or does it get better as the milk supply gets adjusted to meet baby's needs? everytime he starts feeding and sometimes just when I'm walking around the house and feel it let down, I jump a little bit because of the painful tingle feeling. I won't say it's excrutiating pain, but it definitely doesn't feel GOOD :tired

I dont know if it will last the whole time your feeding because I stopped breastfeeding about 3 weeks after her birth...But it hurt that whole time for me!

I breastfed the boys for a month both and both times it always hurt! Good lucky Brandi!

after the first month to 6wks I didnt feel let down anymore....it will go away soon....

My let down just tingled but I could really feel it. Its normal I think

I had pain with that sometimes but not always-Hope it gets better sweety:hugs

Oh.... I remember that feeling!!! It hurt for me for the whole year I nursed.. Something funny about it though, when Jack would cry, it would make my milk come down.

And it got to the point where if I was at the grocery store, or a restraunt and someone else's baby would cry, it would make my milk come down. It would make my ears perk up, and my boobies would hurt.. I remember once I walked the isles in Fleet Farm looking for the crying baby because I thought he sounded "hungry"..

:rofl That is too funny :lmao

I know how you feel though. I went to the naval hospital peds clinic today and every time a baby cried, my dang boobs started hurting :nutts :ohno

i had it a lot. the only relief would be for Trent to nurse. it will go away though

I had that a whole lot....tingling and sharp, shooting pains....the only relief was to nurse, or just let myself leak (for some reason, I never had a problem with getting too full....if my breasts got really full, they would just release themselves).

I forgot... I had a blocked milk duct in the first couple of days. It was a really sharp pain in a very specific spot on my breast. I thought I had an infection or something, but the triage nurse told me to put heat compresses on it, and it would clear up.. It did clear up, but it hurt for a couple of days..

Wow, that was a looooong time ago.. (sigh)

I remember it being painful the first few weeks and then just tingling after that...Oh an by the way CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! When was baby Hunter born?
