Leaking breasts at night

Anyone have any tips for leaking breasts at night I’m sick of waking up soaking through out the night, my baby feeds every couple of hours and I try and get both boobs on each feed to reduce them a bit. Pads are useless!

My little girl is bottle fed and I have this problem, my milk leaks and leaves me soaking and with orange/yellow stains all over my clothes, it's really annoying. My little girl is 2 weeks old

Perhaps hand express or pump as well or in-between to help empty breasts after each feed

my little one is three weeks and my boobs are still leaking. Yesterday one boob was constant and I haven't breast fed at all so can't understand why happening now

@Rebecca Yeah it's weird, breast pads don't really do anything to absorb it, don't really know what else to do

another couple of weeks hopefully and it will have packed in I thought mine were all sorted and out of the blue started again. Maybe try a tena lady not exactly great but maybe more absorbent? X

Do you have a haakaa pump? You can put it on the other breast when feeding from one and it will collect the let down so should hopefully stop you leaking later in the night x
