Sooo when does the leaking stop?

One boob is a six ounce pumping soldier that very rarely leaks and pumps 5ish ounces every 3-4 hours. I also have one "special" boob that seems to be a little over emotional and who LOVES DD very, very much. If DD does something cute, or coos it lets down. To be honest it lets down to anything... even a well produced television commercial. It only ever gives 2 - 3 ounces... I think the rest ends up in my bamboobies.  

I had heard that after you breastfeed / pump for awhile, sooner or later your boobs don't leak as often or you have to worry about it less? Is this true or just wishful thinking? Has this happened for anyone yet? 

Anyone else have a special boobie that maybe tries a little too hard?

Lol.  My right boob is a little special like you describe.  Not too bad, but I have to be ready for it , especially when DD is nursing on leftie.

I really only leak now when there is a growth spurt and my boobs are engorged.  I rarely ever feel that awkward letdown feeling that I used to get.

Yeah, still waiting for the leaking to stop. I completely soaked my night nursing bras the past few nights, and that's with a breast pad in them. I have one "overachiever" boob and one laggard. I routinely get 5+ oz from one and an ounce, if I'm lucky, from the other. It sucks b/c LO has started sleeping 6hrs at night but the overachiever wakes me up and I have to hand express to reduce the pain/pressure. Hoping this balances out soon.

Both sides still leak all day and night. Right side is a little more "special", but I can still pump 3 + oz from it.

I always have this happen and did for the entire 16 months I BF'd DD1.  I have saved the extra when I nurse by putting a milk saver on the other side.
