Leaking?

in Parenting after a Loss
How long did you continue to leak after you stopped nursing?  I've not been nursing or pumping for over 4 weeks now, and I'm still leaking!  Not a lot, and only from one side, but it's super annoying.  Especially because my body wasn't producing jack crap when I was nursing, and now suddenly 4 weeks later without any stimulation I'm still producing *something*.. Ugh. 

It's just a constant reminder that I'm not doing what my body "should" have been doing.. clearly, I am still struggling with the decision to FF..

On the upside.. my little peanut is over 10lbs now =)  He's gained over 3lbs in 5 weeks since we started supplementing and then switching solely to formula.  That should make me feel better.

    I just started leaking and I stopped about a month ago but I am pregnant now so I am unsure if it's because of that? I am sorry that you are still leaking. It's frustrating because nursing bras aren't comgy and neither are the pads.

    Really, you just started leaking after a month?  Interesting.. I leaked like crazy the first week.. and then tapered down.. and now it's only occasionally.. like if I'm holding DS and he's really freaking out or when I get out of the shower I notice it.. and, I so agree.. I was glad to get back to wearing a regular bra!  I could only find nursing sports bras big enough but then I had zero support so while nursing I had ginormous, saggy mountains! LOL..

    How are you feeling, btw?? I'm so excited for you and your little lady coming this winter!!!

    Yeah I only wear sports bras. I was a 34F when I was nursing and couldn't wear a sports bra. It's sucked. I love sports bras. I am guessing I am leaking because I am pregnant??? It's like your boobs know Aiden is upset and they are like feed him. But of course they couldn't cooperate earlier. Our bodies don't always make sense..

    I am super tired this week but that's probably because I have been getting up at 5am and I haven't been going to bed too early.

    :((

    I am excited for my mini me to come. Although my bank account doesn't like it. Hahaha

    My end to nursing was really gradual, so leaking/fullness was minimal.  After about a week it let up...but it for sure wasn't at a newborn frequency, more like a few times of nursing a day.  I didn't stop being able to hand express a drop of milk until this pregnancy started...almost a year later.

    I have no advice about the leaking, but I just wanted to say that you're right - you're doing what's best for your baby and you shouldn't feel bad about FF!

    I'm not leaking but if I squeeze my nipple, it still drips milk and I quit BF in February. I thought for sure I'd be dry by now.
