My mother reported feeling a letdown at the age of 65, gazing at her 
grandson.
She blushed and quickly brought her hands up to press on her nipples and 
said: "Oh my goodness!  I haven't felt that in years!"

Talk about body memory, eh?

> I have heard two interesting stories along the same lines in a week. A grandmother, holding her new grandchild felt the old familiar 'tingling' of a letdown. Not being a grandmother, I have never experienced this and have never before heard of this. Both of these new grandmas were prolonged breastfeeders ( but not for the last 20 years or so)
