Then I started wearing them only when I left the house, and now not at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-nursing-pads-all-day#post-145916 Thu, 03 May 2012 11:09:36 +0000 brownie 145916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped wearing them pretty early around 4 months. I didn't have let down on the other side unless I was engorged. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-nursing-pads-all-day#post-145890 Thu, 03 May 2012 10:53:15 +0000 plaidpants 145890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as Rubies. </p> <p>I am not even sure I need them, but I am at the office all day most of the week and I'd hate to have an "accident" here! I can probably stop wearing them at home though, but now I'm just in the habit of putting them in whenever I change my bra. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-nursing-pads-all-day#post-145507 Thu, 03 May 2012 01:49:01 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 145507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did. But I also only BF 4 months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-nursing-pads-all-day#post-145505 Thu, 03 May 2012 01:01:43 +0000 Boogs 145505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as Rubies. I used to have to change them more often, but as time has passed I've needed them less and really would probably be okay if I didn't use them anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-nursing-pads-all-day#post-145449 Wed, 02 May 2012 21:56:51 +0000 Rosie Girl 145449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore them all day, new ones in the morning and new ones at night when I was leaking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-nursing-pads-all-day#post-145446 Wed, 02 May 2012 21:53:12 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 145446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have to wear them when I nurse because I still leak on the other side (at 3 months). But it's getting less so hopefully I can ditch them soon. I only wore them for 3 or 4 months last time, but I know girls who had to the entire time they nursed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-nursing-pads-all-day#post-145407 Wed, 02 May 2012 21:03:15 +0000 chopsuey 145407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did the first few months. Haven't worn a nursing pad in almost a year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-nursing-pads-all-day#post-145393 Wed, 02 May 2012 20:50:48 +0000 skibobrown 145393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This post just confirms for me again that I don't produce nearly enough milk. I wore the breast pads at the beginning b/c I thought that was what I was supposed to do. Then I realized that I don't leak at all, so there was no point in using nursing pads at all. I haven't touched a pair of them since LO was 2 weeks old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-nursing-pads-all-day#post-145392 Wed, 02 May 2012 20:46:51 +0000 Mrsbells 145392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks guys... so far I am going through atleast 2 pairs a day sometimes more, and I also wake up with huge milk stains on my sheets ugh... I never knew breastfeeding could be so messy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-nursing-pads-all-day#post-145262 Wed, 02 May 2012 18:53:01 +0000 heffalump 145262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went through a ton when I nursed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-nursing-pads-all-day#post-145254 Wed, 02 May 2012 18:46:49 +0000 cvbee 145254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm just 14 days into things here, but I do wear nursing pads all day. I have washable ones. I used to have to change them more often, but now I wear like one or two per day. I also use a burp cloth or a baby wash cloth tucked into my bra when I'm nursing because baby likes to spit a lot of the milk out or sometimes it drips while he's getting started. </p> <p>Overnight I go through lots of pads. They get soaked and I (and my bed covers) am always covered with milk in the morning. I have one pair of 'soaker pads' for overnight, but even though they could potentially soak up a lot, I don't like to put the wet pads back on after I nurse in the night. I feel so yucky when I wake up and can't wait for a shower. I bathe baby too because I feel like we're both covered in milk by morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-nursing-pads-all-day#post-145248 Wed, 02 May 2012 18:37:47 +0000 Mrs. Bee 145248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>the first couple of months i wore them all day and went through a couple each day. now i don't wear them unless i'm going out since i'm home all day. i just use a burp cloth to catch let down on the other boob when i'm nursing. it's so freeing not to have to wear a bra + nursing pads! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-nursing-pads-all-day#post-145239 Wed, 02 May 2012 18:25:19 +0000 enjollah 145239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty much! The lansinoh ones work really well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-nursing-pads-all-day#post-145166 Wed, 02 May 2012 17:03:24 +0000 prettylizy 145166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm basically the same as rubies, but I'm still in the 2pairs per day camp </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-nursing-pads-all-day#post-145161 Wed, 02 May 2012 16:57:53 +0000 Rubies 145161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Currently, 9months post-partum, I wear a new pair in the morning after my shower and it lasts me all day, night, and until my shower the next day. I don't even think I need them anymore (no leakage) but I wear them just in case.</p> <p>When LO was 0-5 months, I probably went through 2-4 pairs a day...I wore them all day, having to change to new ones because I leaked so much. I put a fresh pair right before bed and changed again in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-nursing-pads-all-day#post-145146 Wed, 02 May 2012 16:45:15 +0000 Mrsbells 145146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been using Lansinoh disposable nursing pads and I was just wondering if I'm using them right. Do you wear them all day? Or only at night? Also how many do you go through in a day? </p>
