Giant Knockers and Sleeping

I'm a side sleeper and a stomach sleeper. Obviously stomach sleeping has been an issue due to the giant tumors on my chest. Side sleeping is a little more difficult. I wear my sleep nursing bra, its like a sports bra type. When laying on my side they just flop all over the friggen place causing them to not be on the nursing pad and I could wake up to a drenched shirt and/or bed sheet. I feel like I need some cleavage pillow or something.

Does this happen to others or did I kill someone in my previous life? How do you cope with it?

To build my work stash I have been pumping about an hour or so after LO is down for the night. So I go to bed "empty" and doing so I haven't sprung any leaks overnight. It's so hard to do this sometimes though when LO's demon comes out and she refuses bed, to stay up even longer to pump.... I also side sleep and cuddle a squishy pillow, which helps support the girls.

This happens to me all the time. I hate waking up with a wet shirt. I am constantly adjusting the nursing pads during the night. Mine aren't humongous...C's or D's when really full. I find sleeping on the stomach to be the easiest way to keep them in place. Maybe double up on pads?

 This.  My pads have stickies on the back to you can keep them in place.

The leaking shouldn't last too much longer. With DS1, I think I stopped leaking when he was three months or so. DS2 is 10 weeks, and just in the past couple days, I've noticed that I'm not leaking quite as much, though it hasn't totally stopped yet. I think it's normal for it to stop after a few months.

I always pump right before bed, even if LO has just eaten. I haven't leaked in a few weeks, but when I was leaky I would wear a nursing bra to bed and shove a burp cloth in the bra, over each boob. The burp cloth stayed in place and prevented me from waking up soaked.

Went from 34b to 38d... I misa sleeping without a bra, and I would love to get rid of the nursing pads!!!! I sleep with my sleep bra and use the bigger pads I can find...

My mom bought 3 jumbo packages of maxi pads that don't have wings.  I'm normally a tampon kind of gal, but when I use pads they have to have wings.  So I was stuck with a million pads and started stuffing 2 of those into my sleep bra at night.  No matter where my boob wandered, it was covered by the pad.  It wasn't the most glamorous of solutions but it worked.

I don't wear a bra to bed. We cosleep so I keep a burp cloth old fashion cloth diaper under the baby then another on the breast not being used.

38 H's here I know the problem.Just wanted to give you hope that it ends. 20 weeks PP and I haven't had an overnight leak is probably 8 weeks. Even with the 10 hours stretch that Cooper gave me earlier this week. I gave up on nursing pads probably 6 weeks ago. nbsp;

I am so happy to hear this! Things had been getting better but with him sleeping longer I feel like I'm back to when my milk first came in.
