moms who breastfeed please:

i'd have to take a towel and eventually when your milk is established it will not leak as much, so just hang in there :)

I loved the lansinoh ones. In the beginning I would have to change them usually once a night so I would not soak through, but other than that I never had a leaking issue with them . I did however leak through with pretty much every other one I tried.

The lansinoh ones are great for night time. The crazy leaking is a phase that will pass. Keep up the good work =)

When I was breastfeeding I hated nursing pads cause they were not as big as my boobs and their round shape could be seen through my shirts. My best friend said she used men's 100 percent cotton handerchiefs. They could be refolded, used more than once in one fitting. They worked the best for me. Also when nursing I wore a lot of print tops to help hide any leaks that get out.

Before I had babies a friend and I were out once and she became engorged without her baby to feed right then. She told me that what worked sometimes for her was to have a letdown by just thinking very hard of her baby, her hormones would sometimes kick in and she'd leak. Sometimes without baby on her mommy's days out, she told me she'd quick blend in walking near a group of babies and moms. Their cries near her brought on her hormones and letdown of her milk.

Good Luck, don't know if any of this will help you. Oh Congratulations!!!!!

I was like that at first too, but it will stop I used the lansinoh ones I think thats how you spell it the ones with the plastic back. Now I don't use anything he's 5 months old now but i think after a month or so it was fine.

thanks ladies
its great to see this wont last the whole time I breastfeed. :)
Thanks for the advice

Lansinoh is the best. But you'll have to sleep with a thick towel because you are going to leak a lot more than any pad will be able to help you with and it will last for a few more weeks like that. GL

The leaking will abate soon. Honestly, menstrual pads cut in half work better than any breast pads.

I remember putting a bath towel under my shirt. Don't worry, it will get better!
