When did you stop having to wear breast pads?

It's 15 weeks and I am still doing the comedy multiple spurts of milk across the room every time DS decides to take a break from feeding.

Will this wear off?

I didn't need mine either. But that was because DD was such a greedy little thing. I never had engorgement either; she took it all! Bloody tiring though....

I think the 'sorts itself out by 12 weeks' thing refers to the fact that you can go longer between feeds (particularly at night) without finding yourself in agony, with rock-hard boobs!
Your supply regulates itself to a certain extent, but you might still leak for months on end.

I was still wearing breast pads till about 9 months though.
