How do you deal with the leaking?

Question

I’m 6 weeks postpartum and I’m so happy and thankful that I’ve had a great breastfeeding experience so far, I produce a lot of milk enough for my baby to have his meals also we had no trouble getting latched on or anything, it’s been great! The only thing is how do I prevent this from happening? How do I control all the extra milk? I wear nursing pads and pump once a day but this still happens, I don’t want to pump more because I been told it can create an oversupply, what do I do? 😭

Answer

There are different ones out there but this is what come to mind.

Answer

Best thing for over flow while breast feeding on the other breast.

Answer

So yeah make sure you’re only letting baby eat from you or that you’re pumping and then feeding it to babe for a meal. Do not add in any extra pumping sessions because this will lead to you making more milk. I don’t really have any advice for you, just wanted to let you know that I’ve been there. I almost stopped breastfeeding my son after the first month because I couldn’t handle all the leaking and the engorgement and everything and I thought it would stay like that the entire time I breastfed because I had no knowledge on breastfeeding. I can say though, that it will for sure get better. Mine got better at about 10 weeks. I wasn’t leaking like crazy from the side I wasn’t feeding my son on, and I was also able to go to sleep at night and wake up with very little wet spots on my shirt. My son is a couple weeks away from being a year now and I couldn’t even tell you the last time I leaked!

Answer

You might just need to get breast shells to collect the milk until your supply regulates
