Sleeping with leaky breasts

I typically just sleep in an oversized tshirt but my breasts have been leaking more and it's uncomfortable. I hate sleeping in bras does anyone have any recommendations or products that are not so constricting like a bra??

    Try a sports bra style nursing bra. That's what I used after DD was born. Not ideal but much more comfortable than a real bra.

    Gap body pull over bras, or any similar bralette.  I think I have one from target as well.  No padding or underwire, but something just to hold them in.  I usually just sleep in one of those with some shorts.

    I have a little nursing sleep bra I picked up at Target, and it's basically just a little bralette, nothing constructing.

    You could wear something like that to hold breast pads in place. I leaked like crazy after DS was born (before I bought my sleep bra).

    Those sleep bras are awesome! I'd get a size slightly larger than you think you need because they shrink in the laundry. I also second the pads. You can buy cotton ones that you wash and reuse.

    Since you may need one anyway when LO arrives, I'd recommend a nursing tank or at the least a nursing bra without an underwire. I also recommend buying some nursing pads to slip into the top to soak up any leakage! When I had DD, I had to use a couple nursing pads and change my shirt in the middle of the night for the first few months! Target has some great, inexpensive nursing tanks with a loose shelf bra that I liked.

    Sleep bras! I lived in them the last month of pregnancy when absolutely all bras became too uncomfortable and I no longer had to leave the house to go to work, lol.

    These ones were great. They are pretty good at holding nursing pads in too.

    You may be able to get some reusable nursing pads for free. I got some a while back, but haven't used them yet. Same parent company that makes the car seat canopies and nursing covers, etc.

    If you want disposables, I used Lansinoh and liked those.

    If you're leaking you've got wear some sort of bra. Get a nursing sleep bra (they are pretty comfy and not restricting) and put the nursing pads in.

    FTM- is it normal to be leaking at 28 weeks? I have had spots in my bra past few days and today woke up with a huge circle on tshirt. I have a dr appt tomo so will ask them, just wondering if anyone experienced in meantime !

    I've been leaking (left side only!) since 20 weeks. OB says its normal it's just super annoying to wake up with a huge spot! I will have to invest in a nursing bra soon! Just keep forgetting. :)
