Hello. I have a let-down reflex that comes and goes during a feed - it will come for around 30 seconds, then disappear for a couple of minutes, then return, in waves. I was reading a breastfeeding book last night which said that most women get a constant let-down until the end of a feed (some occassionally get it in waves, but the book implied that this would be on occasion rather than every time they fed). It was a potential eureka moment for me - my daughter has been struggling to put on weight (cf previous thread), and I wonder if this is related. I had just assumed that everyone let down in this way (and now realise that a constant let-down would make the feed so much shorter and easier!). (I'm pretty sure this is the case as my daughter has a loud swallow when she is actually getting the milk, I can see the milk when the let-down is happening - when it actually arrives it is a strong let-down - and the same pattern happens when I express milk). Two questions - have other mothers experienced this, and what can I do to encourage a more consistent let-down (have tried warm flannels etc, but same thing happens)? Thank you for any thoughts.
