This keeps happening to me a couple times a day. I'll just randomly get that tingly let down feeling, and then start leaking milk. Last night in the shower it happened, and both boobs had a stream of milk coming from them! My baby is almost 3 weeks so hopefully the leaking stops by 3 months like it did with DS.
-
That used to happen to me all the time. I had to wear nursing pads forever!
-
I did in the beginning.. I leaked a lot so I always wore the pads. I would step out of the shower and spray all over the bathroom! lol Now DS is 16 weeks and I never leak anymore
-
Yep, LO is almost 8 weeks and I'm still leaking all over!
-
Lol, yes. My daughter is 18 weeks now and it still sometimes happens! It is annoying.
-
I did and sometimes still do. It used to be exactly 2 hours after the last time he ate! Showers also made me spray everywhere after!
-
I do, but it is sooo much less often now that my LO is 5 months.
I went out to the grocery store without breast pads for the first time recently and of course there was a baby crying the entire time I was in the store. I'll never make that mistake again
-
Hmm I did rarely for the first few months, but not a huge quantity. The main problem was overnight leaking!
-
@fairy: Same for me. I might leak a little during the day, but it was only a few drops here and there. I leaked more at night - I'd just wake up in a puddle, haha. But that was only in the first couple months and then I stopped leaking altogether!
-
Yep.. That happened to me for a loooong time, unfortunately. I wore breast pads til like 8 months PP!
-
At 3 weeks that happened all the time! It still happened all the way until 12 months, although it got rarer and rarer.
-
yes, i used to let down randomly when i was thinking about LO or if i was in the shower and water was hitting my chest. i don't remember when it stopped...maybe around 3-4 months?
-
Yes! I haven't not worn the pads since my milk came in - same exact thing happens to me in the shower and randomly throughout the day. It's been another tough aspect of bf for me bc I hate wearing bras at home when I'm just hanging out and I can't ever not wear them now! Also when I'm feeding from one side the other side leaks so much!
-
@mrskc: yes! I think the random leaking stopped by 6 months?
-
Yes! I had to wear Lily Padz for a long time (those things are awesome--they actually prevent the leak instead of just sopping it up). I still leak at 7 months, but not as much.
-
Yes, in the newborn stage! Then it chills out and for me, now only happens rarely (7 months pp).
-
Yes, at first for sure. I remember one day getting out of the shower then went to brush my teeth while I was still naked. All of a sudden I felt something dripping on my foot and was so confused because I was sure I'd toweled off well, but sure enough one of my boobs was leaking.
I wore nursing pads consistently for at least the first three months, then tapered off, and I only had to wear them at night. By 7 months I could pretty much go without all the time.

Still leaky at 7 months....wore nursing pads for 9 months with my first child.
