Different women take different times when it comes to letting down. It might take a few seconds for some women, but it can take a few minutes for others. It's not right to compare yourself to other women out there.  Each time your baby begins to nurse, the nerves in your breast send signals that release the milk in your milk ducts. This let-down reflex usually happens after your baby has been sucking on it for a while.  If you're having issues with your let-down, then there are a few tips you can follow to help you with your milk flow. These include taking a warm shower before feeding, drinking a warm beverage, holding your baby close to you, or a breast massage.
