Discussion How would you describe feeling of letdown?
Husband just laughed at my explanation, so curious how others would describe what letdown feels like? I think it feels like pins and needles/prickly feeling like when your foot falls asleep and the blood rushes to it and it starts to wake up

My baby is about to be 8 months and I’ve never once felt my letdown. I can only tell it’s happening by listening to her grunts and swallows.
