Nursing Pads

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

For the past 3 nights I have soaked through the disposable pads and leaked all over my bra & shirt. I've tried the Medela and Lansinoh brands.  I feed right before I go to sleep and again in the middle of the night yet I wake up and Im soaked. Anyone have a similar issue and find something that worked??

    YES! I use the same brand...haven't tried anything else though. I was at Universal Studios when I had my first leak through expereince :( Luckily, it was at night!

    Do you find that they don't stick well to your bra either? Mine always get jumbled up

    I have used both brands as well and still use the Lasinoh ones. I noticed this happened a few times when I was sleeping if my boobs moved away from where I had placed the pads. The tape on them kinda sucks so maybe check and make sure that's not it? Also your supply is probably still trying to regulate itself. Now I rarely leak at all because they are so attuned to when baby is going to eat!

    You both are right, they don't stick to my bra very well and I often have to fix them because they get all smashed up in my bra. I have big boobs too ( 34G ) so I'm sure that doesn't help either. I wear a bra AND a sports bra to bed to hold them in more. Ugh such a pain!

    Try the Johnson & Johnson brand, they're much thicker and curve more to the contour of the breast. I had the same problem until I discovered them!

    I've had the same problems. At night I have been putting wash cloths inside my bra. Its starting to regulate now.

    I had a coupon for NUK brand and made the mistake of buying them...they ARE awful.

    To the OP: Have you tried Lily pads?  They are a bit pricey but worth it when you are leaking that much...I LOVED mine until I lost one and can no longer use them anymore...haha.  I will be buying another pair for the next time around though.

    For disposable pads, I like the Ameda brand. I've worn them for 10 hours with no problems, plus they don't show through your shirt if you wear them out.

    At night I like to wear reusable pads. I have some from BRU that are organic- a tan color- and they're really soft. I like that they are larger in size and when I first put them in, they feel cool on my poor, sore nipples. Embarrassed
