When will I stop leaking?

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
When ever my milk comes down on one side, I leak alot on the other. I mean alot. I go through alot of shirts and bras because I am yeast prone and don't want to have the nips sit around in wetness. This is a real problem when I am out in public and can't change shirts. Unfortunately I cannot seem to find a breast pad that doesn't totally show through a shirt and this is going to be even more of a problem once the weather warms up and I wear fitted t-shirts. And I'd rather not buy a bunch of new clothes.
How long did you leak? Any tips or suggestions?

I stopped leaking around 6 months with DS. I'm still leaking at 11 months with DD.

Have you tried cloth pads?

I slowed down somewhere around 12 months with DS. By that point, as long as we were nursing at our regularly scheduled times I wouldn't leak. If for some reason I went longer than usual without nursing, I would still leak though.

I remember how long with my first two, but it wasn't real long. With #3 it was 2 years. :P This time I mostly stopped at 5 months.

I leaked for what seemed like a full year with my DS. Now, I have seemed to stopped leaking at 10 weeks. Weird how that happens huh?

I find that the Lasinoh disposable breast pads don't show under a shirt. I used them when I went out and just used bulky cloth/fleece ones that I made myself at home.

I hear you on the yeast prone thing! I fought thrush for months with DS.
