Why are my boobs leaking all of a sudden?

I am 2 months into BFing and they are all of a sudden leaking like crazy? I went out to dinner w/ girlfriends and they started leaking. It had only been like 3 hours since I fed her. And, the last 3 nights I have woken up to soaked shirts. I don't know why my supply is increasing as she is eating as normal? Perhaps she is eating more at a time?

I'm guessing that your LO is eating more. I've been having the same issue, and when I pump at work, I'm pumping a lot more than I used to, and DS is growing like a weed, so it makes sense.

I have no clue.. I leak all the time too...

I actually sprayed myself in the face the other night.. and I was half asleep... no fun!

Your LO probably starting eating more or sucking more during their growth spurt, which jump started your boobs to produce more. I notice after my DD's 6 week growth spurt that my boobs were much fuller and leaking  more. I've woken up in the middle of night swimming in BM! Not really, but it leaks all over the bed.
