I am 3 1/2 mos post-partum and still using breastpads... anybody else?

 

[Code Name Mama]

Yep - I was still wearing them up til 7 months or so, just to avoid embarrassment. They didn't leak as much as in the beginning, but it was enough to notice. I was glad that I found some good cloth pads early on so I didn't have to throw so many away.

 

[caenach]

7 months?

At 3 months and still leaking away.

 

[holothuroidea]

Mine leak during and after growth spurts. When my supply renormalizes they don't leak until the next one.

 

[tinyblackdot]

um i stopped BFing almost 17 months ago, and mine still leak sometimes

 

[ChristyH]

Mine never really did leak much at all, if they did it stopped after 1-2 months. Now sometimes one will leak a little when she's nursing on the other side but not often.

 

[Kappa]

About 8 months.

We're at 14 mos, and I still wear breastpads. If I don't, letdown when he nurses on one side produces on the other side and makes a mess.

 

[diamond lil]

My baby is 3 months and I still wear them 24/7.

 

[Mrsboyko]

At least till 7 months, porpbably more like 9 months. I always had a dual let down though. The random letdowns stopped around 4 months (after going back to work for a bit), so I wasn't getting hit unknowingly after that.

The last time I really remember needing them was around 10 months or so. I know I stopped using breast pads shortly after that with no problem. The first 6 months or so were the worst though, and I had to sleep on a prefold most nights.

I had an oversupply problem, so I'm not average or anything, but my breasts leaked for I'm sure over a year - even after the oversupply problem was handled. In fact, I bet they leaked when my daughter was 2. There was a time after she'd weaned when my breasts leaked unexpectedly - I thought maybe I was pregnant but I never did find out what caused it.

 

[sweetcheeks]

We're at almost 7 months here and still using nursing pads. With DD, I used them up until 8-9 months.

 

[AKA_PI]

I'm 4 months PP and I just started to leak again. Pne of my boobs is actually chaffing about I stopped breastfeeding about 2 months ago!

 

[Leisha]

Yep, been 7 months since my DD weaned and I still drip a little sometimes.

The fountain of milk soaking my shirt and bed stopped around 4 or 5 months.

 

[Sonneva]

Still using breastpads 24/7 at 10 months... If I don't I end up soaked. I do have over supply though.

 

[Peacemamalove]

It took a while for mine to stop leaking with my babies!! This time I still leak and it is worse now that my dd is going through a growth spurt!! She nurses all the time so I am back using my pads!

 

[veganf]

I've never leaked, ever. But I know moms of toddler who still do, and even after weaning will still leak. It seems to be a very individual thing.

 

[roseoffred]

Mine leaked terribly (to the point of spraying through my shirt) until I started block feeding. Now they never do. At first I was afraid I wasn't producing enough milk but my ebf ds (11mo) is still a chunker.
