Have been Breast feeding for 3 and a half weeks (which I am v proud of as I am really struggling with no sleep etc) Was just wonddering when the leaking stopped - it is fine in the day as I just stick a pad in my bra but when I'm feeding at night the other breast still leaks like mad...I guess i could wear a bra to bed...

I'm at 10 weeks now and I can get through the night leaking, but as soon as DS feeds from one boob, the other one leaks. I ended up getting some sleep bra's from mothercare, with a vest with built in support.

I'm pretty comformtable and the extra support keeps the breast pads in place. I hated waking up with that cold damp feeling.

Yep, sleep bras are the way forward. We're 6.5 months in and still leaking! DS feeding triggers let-down from other breast so pads and sleep bra are essential!

Some people say that you stop leaking around 3-6months but I'm still wearing breast pads at 9months! It does get better though. Where I was going through a pack of breast pads in 2-3days in the beginning, I now use a pack/2weeks.
