New Mom Here with a bottle feeding/BF question sorta
Ok, I delivered DS a week ago. How long will it take for my boobs to stop leaking? I've been wearing a sports bra and it does help, but of course any time my DS is laying on me, my boobs leak. My sweatshirts are getting drenched. Any advice? I'm bottle feeding. Thanks

Are you pumping into bottles or formula feeding from bottles?
If you are BF (or pumping), I leaked around the clock for a few weeks. Then as DS slept longer I was only leaking at night. I was able to stop wearing breastpads during the day around one month, but kept them on at night until about 4 or 5 months.

Kaydyn was Formula Fed and I leaked for weeks. The nurses said I would dry up in a few days, but I had to wear pads for about 3 or 4 weeks.

ditto....and use ice packs on them also bc it slowed it down for me and they were much less painful

Cabbage leaves in the bra
try not to let the hot water from your showers run over your breasts (it stimulates let-down)

Then I am no help! 
I got confused when you had 'BF' in the title. 
I thought I heard cabbage helps too.
