How long before boobs stop leaking???

With ds1, I was able to do without breast pads, but can't remember when. Ds2 is nearly 3 months and I am still leaking everywhere... Any chance of this stopping soon, or am I getting impatient too soon???

Thanks!

Think it completely depends on the individual. Dd2 is 15 weeks & I've stopped wearing them in the day time but I'm sure I was still wearing them with dd1. What I want to know is when I can stop wearing a bra at night!

DS3 is 12 months & I still leak from the side I'm not feeding on during let down.

Boy is 17 weeks, have stopped wearing pads in the day and am down to wearing them at night with a bra about 2 or 3 days in every week. Its getting less but about every 3rd night I find i am really full and need a bra, pads and a towel over the bedding. Strangely enough the other nights my boobs are reasonably soft and I have stopped wearing a bra on those (still put a towel down though, just in case).

The sensation of being braless again is a blessed release I can tell you!
