Does the leaking ever stop?

Question

I breastfeed my daughter, and I've been leaking since 18 weeks. She's a month old and after a bad cold my supply dropped significantly, but I still always have to wear nursing pads and a Bra. I haven't been able to go bra-less since well before she was born. I hate wearing a bra 24/7!!! Does the leaking ever stop? Or do you generally leak until you stop breastfeeding and dry out?

Answer

It gets better ;) My milk went everywhere all day in the beginning. I also had an overproduction off milk. Now (LO is 7 months), I only use breast pads at night (from 22.00 until 07.00)

Answer

I always wear pads and I never leak any more (5 months). Just in case something happens. But get one of those really thin bras. Like a training bra. Then it doesn't feel like you are wearing one :)

Answer

Usually around 12 weeks your body knows the right amount to produce and you'll stop leaking (except when you get to sleep in :) ).
