So tired of leaking

I hate to look a gift horse in the mouth, but I am sooo tired of leaking. My DD has just the last couple of days started sleeping about 10.5 - 11 hours at night. Wonderful, I know, but I finally after weeks just stopped leaking during her 8 hours of sleep.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I currently am using Medela disposible breast pads, but half the time they shift while I am sleeping and me and my bed get soaked.

    Do you pump at all?  I have to pump before bed so that I don't leak all over the place and then again when I get up in the morning.  It has helped my freezer stash :)

    For me, Lily Padz stopped the leaking.

    I use Lansinoh brand disposables.  I use them with a Medela sleep bra.  It is rare that I leak through and my DS has been sleeping about 10 hours before nursing.

    Kudos to you, I hate pumping. I pretty much only do it at work right now.

    No suggestions, I just wanted to say I feel your pain.  DS isn't STTN often enough for me to predict when he will, and I absolutely hate waking up soggy and engorged.

    Sleep bra and pads.  For awhile, I put some cotton pads or washcloths between my breast and the disposable pad - I would leak that much.  It took about 3 months for my breasts to sort-of adjust and I STILL leak by morning and need the disposable pads overnight.
