My son is 1 and only has one breastfeed before he goes to bed. Im starting to wonder if hes getting anything out as i dont feel any let down at all anymore. Is it normal not to feel it or has the milk dried up?

I have a 16 mo old that just weaned about a week ago. She too had only been nursing before bed for about 5 months, I wondered the same thing. My breasts never felt full and I had not felt any let down since she was about 10 months. There were nights several weeks ago she would nurse for just few minutes and pull away, milk was definitely still available. It's been just over a week since the last time she nursed, my breasts are not "full" but I can tell she hasn't nursed. If he's still showing interest and you want to continue, keep it up he's more than likely still getting what he needs from that feeding. Good Luck!
