Leaking has stopped - is this normal?

Hi,

Just a quickie - my baby is 3 weeks old and for the last week I haven't had a lot of leaking from the other boob when feeding.
I am still wearing breast pads but wondering if it is worth the expense as they never really seem damp.

Is this a normal part of your body adjusting to the milk supply the baby needs or is it a sign that my milk supply isn't very good?

Thanks

Totally normal! You body is adjusting to the needs of the baby without wastage of milk.

Completely normal like belgo said its your body regulating your body for your babies needs

There are muscles that keep the milk in, they get stronger over time.

Washable breast pads are nicer, and of course cheaper over time. You may still need them at night, or first thing in the morning ...
