How long will I need breast pads if bottle feeding?

[Cherry85]

Trying to be prepared and pack my hospital bags/ buy all the essentials for first few weeks.

How many pads will I need or how long will I need them for. (Not sure which of those questions is easier to answer - if the later how many do you go through a day?).

Thanks!

I think it was about 5/6 days I used pads for with my first child who was ff from birth. I think my milk came in around day 4 and then needed them for another day or 2. It was nearly 7 years ago so my memories a bit rusty!

Honestly depends how long they leak for... Mine with my first leaked for over a week... With my 2nd think it was only a couple days

Mine slightly leaked for a day and that was it!

Mine leaked twice over a period of one day. I bottle fed from birth and this was about day 6

And id bought 2 packets of 40 breast pads 🤣🤣🤣

I only leaked a few days too!

Bought one box from Boots and that was more than enough

Why don't u buy a pack of reusables then it won't mater how long you need them for as they won't run out.
