Is it really necessary to wear a nursing bra?

Was hoping to go braless..

Marmite - that's around the time I began getting blocked ducts! How weird though, I never had them with my first baby or for almost the first year with ds2.

I think everyone varies so much. To be honest I barely leaked at all for the first 5 months (but had to wear a bra because of the size issue!) and then had a few months of milk spraying all over the place before everything settled down.
