Hi there!
Just wondering how long everyone's breasts leaked for? I was BF'ing/expressing for the first 3 days I ended up having to FF due to baby not latching properly and becoming too distressed.
Anyways, my milk came in a few days after and my breasts were sore and hard for a while. But now, several weeks later they feel fine, baby is doing well but my breasts still leak whenever I feed her or when she cries when I am not wearing a bra! For the first week or so I had to wear breast pads and a bra 24/7 but then found I wasn leaking at all. So I started taking the bra off for bed and found that I leaked again. So went back to wearing a bra 24/7 and every few days I try sleeping without it but I get leakage if I feed her or she cries.
How long did everyone else get this for? And any tips on how to reduce/stop it? I hate wearing a bra to bed every night but I also can't keep covering my pjs in milk whenever I do a night feed!!
