What are those things called, that you put on your other breast when you're nursing and it catches the milk?

And no, I don't mean a toddler.

TIA.

breast pad.

No, I haven't explained myself properly.

You put it in your bra and it catches the milk so you can use it later instead of expressing. My friend used them so I know they exist!

they are called breast shells and are really good as if like me you leaked a lot from the other breast whilst feeding on one you can collect the milk and store it in the fridge in a bottle -you will be amazed how much you have by the end of the day and then you can freeze it!! Mothercare sell them.

Aha! Breast shells! It would seem so.

I looked it up after Dogs' post, but I think I got them confused with nipple shields.

Have just phoned local Mothercare and they've put some to one side for me! Woot!
