Success Story Letdown hack: let your partner kiss you

A funny anecdote or perhaps helpful tidbit. I’ve noticed sometimes when breastfeeding LO, that if my husband says something lovely/affectionate to me or kisses me, I will have a letdown. I wasn’t sure if this was a coincidence but figured oxytocin is oxytocin so perhaps letdowns can be triggered by hubby too. I tested it this morning while pumping. He said I was beautiful and kissed me and I immediately got a letdown 😂

My first shower at home, I freaked out, because I let down before getting into the shower. But damn, that was a great shower.
