I feel backwards! But I can feel the letdown reflex more now as well; I think the hormone shift from Simon starting to wean a bit has increased my boob sensitivity across the board. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leaky-boobs#post-563484 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 11:23:17 +0000 mrskc 563484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 4 months pp and I don't leak anymore, thank goodness! It stopped around 3 months pp. I used to leak almost every feeding. So glad I don't have to wear breast pads anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leaky-boobs#post-563481 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 11:22:42 +0000 Minnie_Girl 563481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the time.

I never really leaked/leak! It's awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leaky-boobs#post-563455 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 11:10:33 +0000 birdofafeather 563455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: which ones do you have? I have a milkie but can't wear it all the time. I leak all.the.time. Looks like it will be that way for a while! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leaky-boobs#post-563179 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 09:24:21 +0000 sera_87 563179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I leak all the time and let down in the opppsite breast while nursing. 6 months pp. bleegh. . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leaky-boobs#post-563143 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 08:54:03 +0000 prettylizy 563143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I finally stopped leaking and letting down on both sides at 7 monts PP. Up to then I was wearing nursing pads ALL DAY AND NIGHT. I did use a milk collector to catch the letdown on the other side for a while, and that was awesome, though I'll say, I don't miss having to wear a bra and pads day and night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leaky-boobs#post-563131 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 08:43:42 +0000 PurpleUnicorn 563131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i definitely don't leak all the time and hardly ever during the day...but some mornings, since he STTN, i wake up with a soaked shirt and rock hard (painful) boobs (and that's on top of the breast pads)! Other mornings I am fine. think it depends on how much he drank before bed the night before. I am 3 months pp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leaky-boobs#post-563125 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 08:39:36 +0000 yellowbird 563125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always leak!

Just woke up and LO has been asleep for over 10 hours. My boobs are full and hard as rocks but no leaking! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leaky-boobs#post-563080 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 07:48:23 +0000 T.H.O.U. 563080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was really luck to never really leak. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leaky-boobs#post-563077 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 07:39:23 +0000 SleepyMonkey 563077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i still leak about 3.5 months pp. my right boob is way leakier than my left. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leaky-boobs#post-563043 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 06:33:50 +0000 travelgirl1 563043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wear milk collectors so love my leaking - it all contributes to my stash! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leaky-boobs#post-563041 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 06:26:58 +0000 hellobeeboston 563041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm almost 4 months pp and I leak, I wear breast pads every day! The beginning was worse - leaking a lot, had to change the pads more often.... Now it's the worst at night. I just started back to work, but feel the let down every once in a while but it's def getting better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leaky-boobs#post-563038 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 06:04:43 +0000 matador84 563038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 6 months out and I leak! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leaky-boobs#post-563036 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 05:55:34 +0000 littlebug 563036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 4 weeks pp, and leak quite a bit. Especially overnight - I have to make sure I'm sleeping on my back or else I well wake up soaked in breastmilk! By the morning, my breast pad is heavy. It's gross. I'mreally hoping it stabilizes soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leaky-boobs#post-563032 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 05:42:52 +0000 tinyperson 563032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never really leaked, except when LO went 8 hours one night... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leaky-boobs#post-563025 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 04:34:59 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 563025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never really leaked after the first month. Thank goodness!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leaky-boobs#post-563022 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 04:29:59 +0000 Ree723 563022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I've never even used a breast pad! I'm nearly 8 months postpartum and think I've been quite fortunate in that regard. When DD started sleeping 12 hr stretches through the night, I did have a couple of mornings where I woke up and had leaked a tiny bit, but my supply quickly adjusted and I really don't have any leaking at all. I've mostly nursed LO directly, but also was pumping maybe 3 or4 times per week, and now not at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leaky-boobs#post-563016 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 03:17:08 +0000 LaineysMom 563016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Green Grass: Yes... the first few weeks I leaked non stop.. I used "overnight" pads during the day, then slept with a towel tucked into my nursing bra. </p> <p>Do you exclusively pump??? Once I started exclusively pumping it became 100X better. I no longer have leaky boobs at night.. Now, just weird things make me leak.. like in the morning I feed LO with a bottle before I pump and that usually makes me leak a little bit. If I can pump before I feed her I'm fine. Meh.. I still leak, but I rarely soak a pad now.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leaky-boobs#post-563013 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 03:07:05 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 563013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LaineysMom: Have you leaked the whole time? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leaky-boobs#post-563011 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 03:01:53 +0000 LaineysMom 563011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Btw, I'm 18 weeks pp.. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leaky-boobs#post-563010 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 03:01:15 +0000 LaineysMom 563010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Green Grass: yes, you're very lucky. My supply has stabilized so I'm not going through 12+ pads a day, but I still leak every day.. I can just feel it.. Urgh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/leaky-boobs#post-563006 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 02:44:01 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 563006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 4 months pp and a sometimes leak a drop here and there, but I've never even had a really moist breast pad. Am I just really lucky? What about the rest of you?</p> <p>(Overnight I go 8 hours without pumping and I sleep on my back. During the day I go 4-6 hours.) </p>
