Leaking overnight - tips for keeping a dry bed?

Do you express before bed after LO has had their last feed?
i’m almost 13 weeks in - still massively leaking over night, soaking whatever i’m wearing plus double up on breast pads and the bed, onto a puppy pad. even though he feeds on both breasts through the night & i pump before bed, not fully emptying my breasts as i don’t need to create more milk. but some people just produce a lot more milk than others! i have to pump throughout the day to keep my breasts from filling too much. i can easily get 300ml throughout the day. plus a 150ml pump during the night to help. i’m hoping it stops soon because i hate waking up soaked in breast milk 🥲
If you don’t want to use a puppy pad, you can get reusable bed pads for just a few pounds from Temu - I bought them as we co-sleep, to protect the bed from baby sick and it’s been a game changer
Maybe this is a silly idea, but could you double up on pads? I find the Lansinoh reusable pads amazing, so could you use those against your breasts and then the disposable ones stuck to your bra?
i had this and by day 3 my body had adjusted x
