Leaky boobs? still?

CanukMam · September 2013

My boobs are super leaky, the right one especially. My breast pads are constantly shifting and I have to wash my nursing bra constantly (I don't want to buy tons of them). I was under the impression this was a new mama problem but its still happening to me all the time. Anyone else? Got any tips for me?

They leak while breastfeeding and not. Im still leaking through shirts over here.

Thanks for the ideas. I feed on demand so we have never had a set schedule.

My next move is to just put like three nursing pads in my bra

I meant to add, I leaked the entire 5 months I breastfed Cameron, but not once this entire time with Casey. So maybe invest in as milk saver (or 2). I haven't personally tried one, but I can only imagine how much extra milk I would have had with DS1. I have heard really great things about the product.

Mine still leak randomly too. DD3 isn't on any sort of routine yet, so they seem to let down whenever they think she should be eating. ;-) It's super fun.

With DD1, I was done leaking by 4 months, but she put herself on a pretty steady routine at daycare. I stopped leaking with DD2 a little later, probably by 5 months.

I haven't had too many leaks in the past couple months, but the first 3-4 were pretty intense. Don't let your breasts get too full. If you feel you're full, just squeeze or pump off a little so they don't leak. Obviously don't pump too much or you'll just be worse off later, though. At this point I can go much longer between pumping and feeding without a problem, but still if I go too long I'll spring a leak.

That sucks! I haven't had any issues with leaking Ina couple months except occasionally overnight if he sleeps n a little more than usual. Maybe he is just eating different amounts each day so your body is having a hard time regulating? Just a crazy guess though. Sorry you're dealing with this!

Mine usually only leak when DD is late for a feeding and it definitely happens the most when DD sleeps long stretches at night. Oh and when DD eats off one side the other one always leaks too.
