Any BFing mom's boobs not leak?

I haven't worn a breast pad since my milk first came in. I have never leaked. I still nurse 5 times a day, and have enough for DS, but my boobs have never leaked. I don't even wear pads to bed anymore... anyone else?

  • I leaked a little the first couple of days, but never since then.  Thank goodness, I could never get those stoopid pads to not make my boobs look lumpy.

  • I never had to wear the breast pads, because I never leaked either. My biotch SIL once made the comment that it was because my boobs aren't big, so there wasn't enough weight to push the milk out. Riiiight. That's it.
  • Mine stopped leaking around 3 1/2 months or so. Best gift my body ever gave me - after my son, of course.  And the lack of a pp period... that's pretty good too...

  • Agreed! I hated those darn things!

  • never leak, but am down to 3 a day. ?used to always have to wear the pads...but not since she started solids.
  • Me either. the only time I ever leaked was when DD was around 6 weeks and I'd forgotten to feed from one side for like 11 hours. But that was it. Eventually though I wasn't able to pump enough to keep up with DD. I also never got the "feeling" of my milk coming in.

  • I never had any leakage or engorgement (well once, at a wedding...but that was like 8 hours of nothing...)  I still have the first full box of breast pads that I registered for!

  • I've been BFing for 7 months and have never leaked once.  Not in the hospital, not in the first few months... never.  My supply has always been good (no need to supplement, but I've never pumped 10 ounces at once either). 
  • I leaked in the very beginning, but I don't anymore..
  • I leaked once a tiny bit when DS was less than 2 weeks old.  I haven't leaked at all since and have never needed the breast pads that I got.  I still feed DS whenever he's hungry (every 2-3 hours) and my supply is fine.  Oh and mrs_harper, your SIL has no idea what she's talking about because I have huge boobs, so, according to her, I should have been leaking all over the place.
  • leaked once when I was in a wedding and didn't pump or nurse all day
