daft question for BF experts

This is a daft question but should I be leaking? I feed 14 week old DS exclusively and don't leak at all - he is thriving and obviously getting enough but I haven't made a dent in the pack of breast pads I bought before he came along. The only time I needed them was in the very early days - he doesn't cry out for milk and I tend to feed him when he starts sucking his or my fingers - I know this sounds silly but I am doing it right?

I leaked like a drain, I had friends who bf for months and months with not a single leak.

Be glad!!!

Be very grateful that you're not leaking - I used to roll over in the night and hit my dh in the eye with a boobful! It's normal - just relax and enjoy it.

for what it's worth, I never leaked. (apart from one occasion during sex - awful!!)

I leaked for the first few weeks but only in the morning when I really full. I'm glad I don't now though. Like the others, I say be glad!!

I bF until 6mths and didn't leak at all either - perhaps we should start a thread for alternate uses for breast pads!

I still leak now dd is 6 months, although not as much. I have friends who never leaked at all.
You're doing everything fine

Hi im bf 12 week old dd and apart from the first few days havent leaked at all. I see it as a huge benefit as I dont have to worry about whether breast pads show under my t shirts or anything or any milk stains.
