Funny feeling in breasts.

I've got a wierd feeling that is similar to pins and needles in my breasts. Its slightly painful but more uncomfortable really. I've just fed DS2 so I know they aren't too full.

Any ideas?

its the letdown reflex and it is totally normal, can be painful at first but becomes less so imo, don't worry!

Kayzr - (Sorry, I'm not stalking you, promise!!) Def sounds like the letdown, I didn't feel it for at least the first 4 weeks I think and was then taken by surprise by it. Sometimes you might feel it when you're not feeding too. If your DS ever goes on to the breast and sucks for a couple of seconds and then starts crying and comes off, it is probably because the let down hasn't started, put him back on to stimulate it, or wait a few seconds to feel it before you put him back on and he will settle once the milk is there. HTH.
