Tingling in breasts after feeding?

Question

Feeling very tingly on the sides and the underside of my breasts after nursing my LO.. she is 8 days old and I just don’t remember feeling like this with my first.. I know tingling can be a let down but I’m feeling this after I feed her?

Answer

Could be refill pains. I got those for the first few months.

Answer

Check if your nipples are turning white after feeding. It could be the baby is pinching the nipple to control the flow of milk. Afterwards when blood comes back to the nipple it can trigger vasospasms. You'll feel little pins and needles in the nipple and breast. I still get this despite months of relatching my baby, its not painful so I'm just dealing with it now. Doctor also recommended vitamins to help reduce the sensation. Mention it at your next appointment.
