Breastfeeding Moms
Hey all, ive noticed that every other time or every two times I nurse my let downs aren't coming after 15 mins or are taking a really long time and when they do they seem weaker than normal? My dd has gone back to nursing every 2 hrs (she's 10 months.) I started drinking mothers milk tea thinking it would help. This is the second day drinking one cup a day. Any advice? I've never had this problem before...is it possible she's not doing her nursing suck to eat and is just comfort nursing?

As long as she is having plenty of diapers your supply is fine. How your breast feel means nothing!

I didn't even feel my letdown by that time. I never actually felt it while nursing. What you feel means nothing. Just keep nursing on demand. Are you nursing immediately before all solids? -
Normal. I don't feel letdown anymore. -
All normal. You don't need the tea. Even if you did... one cup a day wouldn't do a thing... you need at least three. BUT... this is normal and I'd have expected it. All good. Soon enough you'll feel nothing.

You have 3-4 letdowns per nursing session. You have only been feeling the first one anyway. It's normal for that to go away. Just make sure you are hydrated. It makes a big difference in supply. -
You don't always feel letdowns! With my first one, I never felt them! With my current one, I've stopped feeling them unless I'm engorged.
