When did your boobs stop leaking?

[lesley1978]

Will I have to wear breast pads forever or will my boobs eventually stop leaking milk in between feeds???

For most women they don't need to wear them after six weeks, at the latest. With me I have noticed that wearing breastpads actually triggers a let down but if I wear a decently fitting bra (not a tight one though) that is enough to prevent any leaks xx

coreys 7 weeks and i still leak between feeds but alot less then i used to. and the let down only happens when coreys sleeping n doesnt feed as much as normal.

i really dont mind wearing pads tho

 

[Bexxx]

I'm still wearing them

I never needed pads and never leaked. Everyone is different.

I'm still wearing them but I only leak at night.

omg I feel so thick!! I was getting worried that I dont seem to leak as much anymore I thought it meant my milk was going. I leaked the whole time with my little girl and my little boy died before BF had really got established properly x

I stopped wearing breastpads at about 3-4 months both times.

I still have to wear them! When i feed him the other side leaks i was hoping it would have stopped by now

 

[DaniMoose]

oh my lord aint that annoying! same goes for when i pump, the other leaks loads!

I wore them for 9 months... (the duration of how long I nursed)

 

[lesley1978]

I have a feeling I may be needing them for a while then!

Mine still leak now, and they leaked all the way until I stopped BF my eldest at 12 months

I'm still leaking, but a lot less than I was (no more embarrassing incidents in Mothercare so far!). It's mainly at night now.

I still wear them, but I only leak when I'm late for a pump session or a feed. Also, one side leaks when he feeds on the other side. But it's no where near as bad as those early weeks. It got better every week after that first month.

Of course, I also leak a lot at night, but I don't wear pads then. I just sleep on a towel.

It was about 3 months for me.
