Leaking is driving me CRAZY
So I seem to have an oversupply so I am leaking all the time. I do not know what to do. If the baby sleeps for a few extra minutes or we are somewhere longer than expected I begin to leak through my breast pads and on my clothes. I am returning to work in a few weeks and I cannot be in a meeting and start leaking just because it is 5 minutes from when I was supposed to pump.
Do you all have any advice on how to deal with this. I want to keep breastfeeding, but I may have to start weaning if I cannot get this under control before I go back to work. My work schedule is unpredictable (lots of off site meetings, etc...so my days are not the same everyday) so I cannot guarantee that I will be able to pump exactly every X hours.
Advice Please

I still leak and my LO is almost 10 months, some people just leak more- though it does decrease as your LO gets older and your supply regulates.
My advice would be to get the lansinoh disposable breast pads and always carry extras with you. It's a lot quicker to run into a bathroom to change them out then to pump. I've found them to be the most absorbant.
You could also look for nursing bras with the extra breast pad in them (I know motherhood maternity sells them, it's listed as "removable breast pad" plus put your disposable in. That way you have two layers of absorbancy all the time.
