When do your boobs stop leaking?

Question

I’m 2 weeks postpartum and still have to wear pads in my bra all the time especially when i’m feeding my baby, the other boob leaks so much. But the thing is, i hate wearing bras, i can’t stand them. when will my milk regulate and i can stop wearing bras?

Answer

I always had letdown on both sides and leaked a bit during the day/night. I wore bras and bra pads until I weaned at 18m

Answer

One wonderful invention is milk catchers so then you just shove them in your bra, it catches any leaking. Save’s you money from buying stuff to soak up the leaking, but save you constantly having to change because of the leaking. Best investment for breastfeeding and handling the leaking.

Answer

I had to wear pads until 12 months I always leaked when feeding

Answer

I needed bra pads until about 6m pp

Answer

When milk regulates most of it stops. Like 6-8 weeks.
But. Occasionally I got leaks until we stopped bf at 14 mo. Breast started leaking just because I heard him cry.

Answer

I’m 3 months pp and while the leaking is waaay more manageable than it was, I still experience random let-down sometimes and minor leakage from the opposite breast that I’m nursing with. I used to hate the pads more but now I don’t really notice them.

Answer

I only leaked the first two weeks or so. 
Milk regulated around 6 weeks pp. 
Every women is different though! 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

Oh man. I had to wear breastpads in my bra until at least 8 or 9 months pp. I don’t think I ever completely stopped leaking until I had totally weaned my daughter at 14m.

Answer

Same here i hate bras. I think it got better when he was around 5 months, but I am almost 8 months in and I still leak and have to change bc I’m wet and I dont wear a bra most of the time

Answer

I think my daughter was 4-5 months old before I could go with out wearing a bra or bra pads.
