Woo 8 months....but really worried....

[Cat_pj]

Something has badly affected my let down. Normally it only takes 5 seconds of latching on and I'm spraying all over the place, but after a night away from my Chubba and getting very engorged (although I did pump) afterwards my let down has really changed. For a few feeds it wasn't there at all! There was still milk, just without the familiar tingle etc and I was so scared that I gave my boobs the 'message' to stop making milk because of Saturday night.

Anyway, after some visualisations and lots of looking longingly while nursing etc, it came back. But even now its taking longer than before, up to a couple of minutes.

I'm not gonna lie I have been stressed, starting a new job and exhausted. And I also drank on Saturday I know all this stuff can affect it but will it get better? It doesn't mean an end does it?? I'll be devastated

Thank you!! Please reply!!

I don't think it's the end, just a blip! One day shouldn't harm things that drastically at this stage

I've never felt any sensation of let down! I think it's actually quite unusual for you to still have been feeling one with an older baby.

I wouldn't worry personally, as nervous said, one night at this stage won't cause any problems as long as your LO is still wetting plenty of nappies, she's still getting enough milk
