BF-ing question?

Seriously, when will my boobs stop leaking? I've been bf-ing my newborn since she was born (she's 2 months) and I constantly leak and let down all the time. What am I doing wrong or is this normal?

I feed her every 2-3 hours during the day, she goes about 6 hrs at night and I try to pump about twice a day (sometimes only once) so I have some stashed when we go out.

Re: BF-ing question?

I think I stopped the leaking right around 2.5 months! I guess it depends on your supply and when your body can regulate it. The more you pump/nurse, the more that you'll produce. It's annoying, I know! Hang in there, I don't think it'll last much longer!!

Same as PP, I think I stopped leaking around 2.5 months. If you're pumping in addition to BFing, your body is signaled to produce more so your supply is high and you're leaking. You should start to regulate soon (hopefully!)

I leaked a lot for the first 5 months. After that it was only when I was feeding on one side that the other would leak.

Thanks so much!! I'm hoping it's only a few more weeks I am so sick of those pads.

DD is 11 month and I still use those pads. I always leak from one side while she nurses on the other.
