Switching between pumping and nursing

During the week I pump at work and need to pump both sides to meet dd's needs each time. When I'm with her she is a one sided nurser. I'm leaking like crazy on the side she doesn't eat from every time. I know this is because of the pumping but it's kinda embarrassing while I'm out. Does it ever stop or am I doomed to leak forever? Can I do anything?

    I leaked from both sides during let down until 7 months. I would just keep nursing pads in my bra to soak up any leakage. I was also finally able to stop wearing a bra at night at 7 months. It was amazing!

    This still happens to me, and happened often when I was working and pumping (I'm a teacher on summer break). I constantly wear breast pads to soak up any leakage. I'm really afraid of leaking in public, because when I leak it's a lot of milk!
