EBF - pain in breasts

Baby is nearly 6 weeks and is EBF. Does anyone else get a pain in their breasts (usually between feeds) - it’s like someone is squeezing them really tight, only lasts about 10 seconds. Feeding or pump every 3-4 hours.

Yeah I get this too! Always wondered what it is it’s like something shooting through them and they go tight

Yeah I get it, usually when it's been a while since he fed and they're getting full

It’s letdown pain I think, I get the same pains randomly through the day and also several times during a feed and whenever I get them my little one starts sucking frantically

Lactation specialist told me it’s letdown pain and that boobs are telling you a feed is near

I get this too!

Letdown pains. I get it if it’s been a while between feeds.

Oh my god I’m so glad you posted this, I thought I had something wrong!

It's your boobs telling you it's time to feed baby x
