Anyone who has nursed knows what a "let-down" is. For those who may not know, it happens a few seconds after your baby starts nursing- you get a tingly feelings in your bosoms, like you get when your feet fall asleep, as the milk is "let down" for the baby. Unfortunately, this happens on both sides at once.I forgot to insert breast pads yesterday, so when I went to nurse Kai during the first block of church meetings, I was relieved that I didn't get the tingly sensation after he latched on. Of course, as luck would have it, I DID have the let down, as evident by the enormous damp spot dominating the left side of both my shirt AND over-blouse!
With 15 minutes left until Primary, I didn't have time to go home and change shirts. So, I wadded up some paper towels and stuffed them under my shirt, hoping to soak it up, which did seem to help.
Of course, once Primary got underway, I was so preoccupied with the kids that I didn't realize that the paper towel was STILL wedged in my shirt, until we had started the last block of meetings! I had a good laugh at myself, hoping the open blouse had concealed it :)
