The more  I concentrated, the less let downs I felt.  I got myself into 
a real  tizzy over this :-(  I finally remembered to sit down with a glass of 
 
something to drink, do my relaxation breathing and ignore the rest of the  
world for a while.  Voila! My problem was fixed :-)  


This is something that has always concerned me  personally.  The only child I 
have ever felt a let down with is my baby,  and I only felt them until she 
was about 6 months old.  I never feel a let  down.  I know I am having them 
because I see her swallowing with that "ahhh  that's the stuff" look on her face.  
And I see the milk pouring into the  pump (just bought an Avent Isis for the 
occasional pump and boy can I get the  milk with that thing....way more than 
with my Lactina...go figure).  My LLL  leader and others just furrow their 
brows and shake their heads that I don't get  a Let Down feeling.  I know I don't 
need to fix what isn't broken, but just  wonder if this is a rarity, or if it 
is more common than is discussed and if  these moms could think they aren't 
making milk because they don't "feel" the let  down.  Like I said, I never felt 
a let down with the 3 other  children....only with the baby...and don't know 
what the difference was.   When I did get the let down with her it was only a 
fleeting tingle and it was  gone.  So go figure, everyone is different I guess. 
lol.
