when did you stop wearing pads,nursing bras, bras to bed etc

[feekerry]

I did leak majorly badly up until about 15 weeks ebf and would get thru millions of breast pads. I dont think I leak much now. 20 weeks into ebf. Would be lovely not to wear bra to bed but just not too sure! Hate leaking! Also, when did you stop wearing nursing bras and switch to normal bra! Planning on ebf till self weans but wondered if when dd bit older I can go back to normal bra and just lift up when feeding?

I leaked alot so I put a hand towel into one of my pillow cases and led with that under my breast area. not sure if that is any use to you.. I feel for you!!

I wear stretchy crop top type bras in bed, much comfier and just lift up or down to feed. 9 months into feeding twins (not ebf though).

I first abandoned wearing a bra and breastpads in bed at about 6 months as i was sick of being uncomfortable at night. This was fine as long as I didn't need to get up in the night to breastfeed, as the boob that wasn't being fed from would squirt during feeding (with the letdown) and soak my nightie/t-shirt. But you could just hold a breastpad to the boob to get round that. We're almost at 9 months now and the squirting stopped some time again now, maybe at 7 months. I've just stopped wearing nursing bras at all, as I wanted something a bit sexier! It's pretty easy to get the boob out, really - just pull down the cup.

I'm pretty big, but I stopped wearing bras to bed as soon as I stopped leaking, and started with regular ones as soon as I went back to work. I wear a nursing bra mostly on a weekend when I'm with DD a lot more, otherwise I pull the cup down to feed her.

I'm 14 MONTHS in and still have to wear pads / bras... People stop leaking? I never have, and I;m on DC3 now.

Still breatfeeding my seven month old, stopped wearing a pad at about a week old- didn't leak at all this time! Have been wearing normal bras for about the last three months, but that is only because I have been wearing short sleeves tops so easy to take strap down! Hate maternity bras!
