Annoying leaky boobs

So this is mu second daughter. I had this problem worse with my first. My boobs leak so much and I have such a heavy let down.
My lovely little bab has now slept from midnight to nearly 8am!!! Wow bliss! But all night I've been stirring. They hurt and I get milk everywhere, I fill a pad so easily and I have too sleep on a towel! Even then the towel sometimes moves from underneath me. Luckily we currently have an old shabby mattress but we are getting a new one next week! Just checking if anyone has any tips for me. As I'm here... the only one awake.. my bloody baby is asleep and my 4 year old is magically still asleep!! And I've missed my lie in because it feels like my boobs exploded. So I have a baby towel shoved in my bra! The bras I'm currently wearing are primark sports bras / tshirt bras so they cover my whole chest.

Are you breastfeeding? I used to get up once in the night and pump to give me some relief! Meant I got a nice supply of milk in the freezer too while my supply was so plentiful. The medela hand pump is really good and means you wouldn't even need to get out of bed 😃

i would pump before bed and first thing to stop it going everywhere .Also home bargains bed pads were wonderful
