Painful letdown

Any mummies still having painful letdowns more than 2 months after birth? Everytime I will experience nausea (feel like vomiting) then top of my breast will hurt and then milk will spray out. I heard it's normal to feel pain during letdown starting of breast feeding journey, but it's been two months and still the same. Though the pain is not a big deal but it's a nuisance. Any idea if there's something wrong?

Hello! can try asking Dr to check for D-MER. I've heard of this with a few breastfeeding moms so the nausea may be a consequence of the anxiety or negative feelings u might have during letdowns. Do push for further checks to ensure ur mental health is not causing physical symptoms like pain n nausea when breastfeeding. 🤗

Yes me too! I have stabbing chest pain everyday too. Have seen numerous specialists and they said it’s normal but I don’t feel like the pain is normal 🤕

maybe gastric.
