anyone tried lilypadz nursing pads?

[mum2b09]

my DD is 11 days old and im already sick of constant leaking and uge maternity bras and pads i was wondering if anyone had tried lilypads andif they would recommend them? x

Not really. I found that they still leaked, just round the edges instead of in the middle. And if you get a strong letdown the milk still gets out and then they come unstuck.

They won't make any difference to your need for huge maternity bras either.

BUT things will get better, at the moment your supply is adjusting, your boobs haven't got used to feeding. Your milk supply will settle down and the leaking will get less by itself, this isn't for ever.

Congratulations on your new baby.

anyne got any suggestions on breast pads i just seem to soak through the disposable ones in minutes and my nipples are getting bit chapped because there constantly soaked. iv been using lansinoh cream and its helped but i hate being wet and i can smell the milk on myself beause its leaking through to my bra

I use asda disposable pads, they're fine. Morrisons ones are rubbish and stick to your skin in a nasty way.

Is the leaking mostly when you are feeding from the other breast? Or leaking between feeds?

both im leaking wilst feeding i wake up in the morning after changing my pads several times with a soaking top and matress sometimes. the other day i had just changed my pads and witin minutes i had soaked throught the pad my bra my top and onto my dressing gown. my milk supply is great and im really grateful for it im just scared to go out in public atm because im leaking so much! i really dont know what to do ill try anything to keep it where its suposed to be lol x

For leaking while feeding I'd def recommend some breast shells like these

But they aren't really suitable to wear for hours on end. Otherwise I would just pop a towel under you in bed, wear thin tops that will dry quickly when you wash them, and it will calm down as your milk supply settles fairly soon.

And get a few extra nursing bras, so you can wash as often as you need, that soggy milky feeling is rotten isn't it.
