Milk Leakage

angiekpa

I know every woman is different when it comes to lactation. I have a friend who didn't lactate until her baby was born, and my sister was soaking her bras by her 4th month!

I, personally, have been leaking since the beginning of my 6th month. Now entering my 3rd trimester, I am constantly leaking! I mean, it's been 4 days and I've only not worn a bra to shower. Anyone else having this problem that just wants to rant? Because I totally miss sleeping naked! (lol)

That's a wonderful idea! I didn't even think of that!!!

I've been leaking on and off since about week 20, but in the last month or so, I've had to constantly wear a bra and nursing pads, or I leak everywhere. Last night I was hanging out without one, because it had been humid all day and I was trying to let the ladies air out, and I wound up with colostrum dripping everywhere!

Just found I'm leaking too. I'll be 29w tomorrow. I wasn't making any colostrum or milk until 4d PP with DS so I'm hoping this means I can breast feed better this time around. Guess I need to go buy breast pads...

I strongly recommend getting a few nursing sleep bras for this. They are fantastic, comfy enough to sleep in or lounge around the house in, but supportive enough to hold breast pads in place. They saved me from being constantly wet for months when DD was born, because my leaking once breastfeeding began was intense.

These are the ones I use:
