Not leaking?

bananers

I am 10 days postpartum and my milk has been in for a week now. Prior to giving birth I stocked up on breast pads since everyone told me you leak a lot. So far, not a single leak. Should I just count myself lucky or do you think the leaking is still coming? Or should I be concerned? Is it weird not to leak?

DS is gaining weight great and I can get a decent stream going when I hand expresss, so I don't think it's a supply issue.

If it isn't a supply issue than consider yourself lucky. I leaked for 3 months.

Sweet baby pic in your siggy! 

I'd wait a few more weeks before assuming you won't leak at all... though it does sound like you lucked out!

I had an amazing supply and never leaked. It's possible.

I leak at night when he has gone for more than three hours and I leak when he is nursing but on the side he isn't nursing on. I don't leak in between feedings at all. It's definitely possible

I never leaked with DS#1 and I EPed, 50-60oz/day. Now with DS#2, I leak, it's annoying lol. I thought my boobs were leak proof!

With DS2 the only time I ever leaked was around 6 weeks when LO started sleeping 6 hour stretches at night.  So, you might want to keep some pads to use during that time.  Otherwise, consider yourself lucky!

Some people never leak. I didn't leak at first... your body is still adjusting in terms of supply. I rarely leak now, but when I do it's in the MOTN... sometimes I wake u[ in a puddle of milk, soaked. I also tend to leak from one side if my boobs are kind of full and LO is eating from the other side. You likely won't leak all the time, but you might still leak sometimes... hard to say!

I did the same thing. I stocked up on boxes of nursing pads and only ended up using one. The only reason I used them is because I was afraid of having a wet shirt in public. The only time I would leak was at night in the first few weeks and that was because I was very full. I know people that leaked for months. Consider yourself a lucky mommy!
