So second baby and haven't learnt a thing! He's 6 weeks old tomorrow. My left boob leaks really bad during the night, I wake up and my sleep bra, bamboo bad and pj's are sodden. During the day I use lansinoh disposables, purely because the bamboo ones don't fit very well in normal nursing bras. I hate the disposable ones as they scrunch and stick to my boobs during the day. By the time i have fed a few times I have a rolled up squishy sausage in my bra 😠 then after a feed I have to fumble about trying to reorganise my boobs which isn't glamourous when out in public. There's got to be a better solution!!

I haven’t tried this but their pants are amazing so I would imagine this is good.

If you get really stuck could you try a maternity pad? They are designed to collect a lot of fluid.
