Breast pads at 25 weeks any suggestions?

[shouldIbecrossaboutthis]

For the third morning in a row I've woken up up in a puddle of colostrum, they've been leaking for a while now but only dribbles not full on leakage.

Do I now have to wear a bra and nursing pads to bed now or is there another comfier alternative to stop it getting on the mattress / sheet?

Thanks.

I had that with both pregnancies. I wore a stretchy crop top and added breast pads when that wasn't enough.

I did not have the leaky issue in pregnancy but can I put a word in for washable breast pads? I got mine in boots, they even have a little mesh bag for them to go in for the washing machine. They are so much more comfortable (I always had trouble with the adhesive on disposables, they would end up twisting round and sticking to my skin, ouch!) and obviously cheaper in the long run.

I hated wearing a bra to bed so I slept on a towel. Worked for me.

Boots washables are v comfy!

You can get silicon ones that stick on. The advantage being you don't need to wear a bra. Worth a try, but i'll give washable ones another vote although i got mine from a happy site as needed a water proof back to them the ones from boots wherent absorbing enough for me.

I think I will get washable ones for when the baby is here and until then I'm sleeping bra less on a towel; so glamorous.

Thanks everyone
