to be fed up with my boobs spraying milk on my toes...

[DrDoobs]

...during night feeds? or even worse, across the computer when MNing (sticky keys)? Surely they should have calmed down by now (15 weeks)?

At least I haven't hit anyone else in the eye yet...

[BertieBotts]

Haha, I have a similar problem, DS has just worked out that if he squeezes the opposite boob, it sprays everywhere, which he finds hilarious

[SloanyPony]

Mine only ever sprayed the ceiling

(yeah I wish)

i used to get ezcema on the top of my toes , caused.......by my own breast milk...........thankfully , used a old tube of precribed steriod cream on it, which saved me the shame of showing them to my gp.

i also used to lean over the sink in the bathroom, as i used leak in the morning while brushing my teeth, just to stop it dripping on my toes............i was a very leaky breastfeeding mum........

I used to have to change breast pads every few hours but only up until 5 or 6 months, and now I dont wear breast pads at all (nearly 12 months now) and have only leaked a tiny bit once or twice even when feeding - so there is hope!

[mumdrivenmad]

Have you heard of lily padz they are silicone breast pads that cling to your boobs to stop the flow. They worked for me.

It is the most depressing thing as a new mum to take that much needed shower, get dried, put dressing gown on and walk to the bedroom only to find you've soaked through your towelling dressing gown AGAIN!
Another thing I hated about bf!

[Crapweasel]

YABU...if you're hitting your toes your stomach is clearly not flabby enough

[DrDoobs]

LOL crapweasel

[TrinityIsAPenguin]

lol it will get better soon

but three years on breastfeeding gecko and I can still squirt someone from across the table if I want and with good aim too

YANBU - I was producing enough for quads with DD2 so the midwife suggested that savoy cabbage leafs actually help reduce your milk flow - used them and did not have any more leaky problems ...wish they had said that first time around...

[TakeLovingChances]

You ladies are amazing! I bf my 8 week old DS and have leaked about 5 drops in all that time.

Before DS was born I bought a big pack of breast pads, used them for a few weeks as I felt I should do, then realised I don't need them. Half the packet is sitting unused in my bathroom.

I must be a freak

[GoldenSnitch]

I'll taken them off your hands. 17 weeks in and I'm still leaking!!

Poor DD sometimes gags cause my letdown is so fast - then she comes off and milk goes everywhere!!

Hated Lilypadz. They worked fine but lost their stick within a fortnight so I had to get a new pair and at £15 a go, it was very expensive!!

[GoldenSnitch]

take them.

Sorry. Typing one handed.

[maristella]

mine were like (non rotating) sprinklers. i managed to spray a coffee table, including people's cups of teas and biscuits at toddler group once
