Boobs still Leaking 4 weeks after birth

I had my little boy 4 weeks ago and my boobs are still leaking slightly. Not enough to warrant wearing loads of breast pads, but enough to still have to wear a bra to bed etc

My milk came in about day 5 and I had sore and engorged breasts for about 4 days before they started to feel better but I'm still apparently producing milk 😩

When did everyone else's milk dry up if you didn't breastfeed? There's nothing more satisfying than taking your bra off at the end of the day but apparently I don't get that luxury right now 😂

They're not painful or anything now btw, it's just annoying! TIA

I didn't breast feed mine at all, and actively tried to suppress the milk. My breasts were still leaking for about a month after birth. Just keep wearing the breast pads and a bra - it won't last much longer.
