cosleep and bf question

amyyellowstone · February 2009

Do you and DC sleep on anything special (ie wool pad, waterproof matress pad, ect) for leaks? A friend recommended a wool pad for drips and leaks, but I was wondering what others might use if anything. TIA

I put an old shower curtain liner under the fitted sheet when hit 32 weeks, just in case my water broke in bed, and left it there until we quit bf'ing in bed.

No, we don't use anything special. Don't really have any leaks...

Same here. We also have a crappy bed so we don't really care.

We never had a problem in 14 months of co-sleeping....

We just have a regular mattress cover.

don't co-sleep but do BF a ton in bed- I used to be better about always putting one of the hospital rec'ing blankets (or 2) under me & her- once she stopped spitting up I got more lax about it. We always seem to have 1 or 2 of those blankets in our bed though- they are handy.

I put a receiving blanket under my chest to catch the milk dribble since my boobs are still faucet like. But I don't worry about diaper leaks - I trust my cloth!

We only have a regular mattress cover on. I have only leaked maybe a few drops and we were co-sleeping and BF'ing up until this week. It never went through the sheets.

When I leaked a lot (and I do mean a lot) and DD dribbled a lot, I kept a sheet saver -- for the crib sheets she's never slept on

-- between the fitted sheet and the mattress pad at boob level. We haven't needed to use it in awhile, but it was absolutely necessary for the first few months. Did I mention that I leaked a lot?
