Let me preface. I am an overachiever. With my first son, it took me until 8 months, yes, 8 months to stop leaking. Copious leaking. I used flatfolds to stop the flow (needing to change them mid-nursing session), and then finally went to Lansinoh nursing pads around 3 or 4 m into the game.<br><br>
Well, I've become crunchier in the last couple of years, and really don't want to use a disposable pad, but I am really getting sick of the buckets and buckets of breast milk that shoot out of me at any opportunity. Add to the mix, that I'm tandeming, so now the breasts are conditioned to fire simultaneously <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/img/vbsmilies/smilies/rolleyes.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="rolleyes"><br><br>
Those flimsy cloth nursing pads are a joke. I have not tried wool, but like I said, we are talking buckets of breast milk, so I'm not sure if they are up for the challenge.<br><br>
So I know that the disposables are bad for the environment. I mean, how could they not be??? But do the pads contain dioxins and other chemicals and stuff that would be on my breasts before my sons latch on

I would love some suggestions <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="smile"><br><br>
