When I breastfeed, the milk from the other breast drips everywhere! I have the disposable pads but only wear them when I go out. At home, I'll tuck a burping cloth in my shirt (I know...sexy) but sometimes it gets untucked and then my shirt gets all wet. OR sometimes I'll wake up with two leaky boobs. I'm sure I'm not the only one going through this... care to share your tips or advice? I think I may have to resort to wearing the disposable pads at home if this continues...

I used to apply pressure to the other breast and the dropping would stop!
Sounds like you don't have a supply issue! Such a blessing

Mine still leaks at 10 months. It does get better though. I have reusable nursing pads and I just always make sure I wear one of them because it was a disaster the times I didn't
-
My girlfriend would prop a bottle under the opposite boob while she was breastfeeding, and catch the milk to add to her freezer stash. She would catch a lot that way.
-
I would put pressure on the other breast and it stops the leaking. Wearing a pad at night also gives just enough pressure to stop it from leaking. Not the most comfortable to sleep in but waking up once with soaked sheets was all the convincing I needed! Lol
-
I had to wear pads all the time because I couldn't get the leaking to stop, it's not much fun but it's a lot better than getting everything wet!
-
I just wore nursing pads 24/7; the first few months, I went through at least 2 sets of pads a day because I was leaking so much but around 11 months, I was only leaking a little and only when I BF, so I would just use one pad and place it on whichever boob wasn't nursing. I was hoping it would stop leaking by now but at 15 months, I'm still wearing nursing pads.
-
I stopped leaking for the most part around 3-4ish months when my supply regulated. I think it would take several skipped nursing sessions for me to leak now!
-
i leak and wish i had the energy to catch the milk because it's so much... but i'm too lazy. i pretty much wear nursing pads around the clock, or put a burp cloth on my other boob while nursing.

I don't leak as much as I used to, but I still do a little so I just wear nursing pads 24/7. I honestly don't really even notice them and I prefer the feeling of them over the wetness.
