I’m EBF and going through disposable breast pads like there’s no tomorrow. The reusable ones just leak right through as they’re fabric. I’m 5 weeks PP. how long until I can just wear my nursing bras without a pad as they get all bunched up each time I go to feed and I just want to stop having to buy so many!

I’m 11 weeks PP, EBF and still wear them as one side leaks when I feed from the other side. I would recommend the Lasinoh ones. They’re much better quality than the supermarket own brand ones if you can afford it. They have the sticky bits on both sides which helps them not get as bunched up

I was the same I think by about 3 months pp it was pretty settled but I would still leak sometimes in the morning when my partner would give baby a bottle instead of boob, so I could get some extra sleep, I don’t remember exactly when that stopped but I want to say by about 4/5 months pp I was completely leak free, all women are different though. My sister said she stopped leaking by about week 8, and she like myself was exclusively breastfeeding so who knows 🤷🏼♀️😅 I used the lil-lets brand disposable ones

Ermm… I still use them at 6 months pp😅 leaks are rare but I never want to risk it. But now I’m changing them way less frequently so not going through them as quick.

I am using the lasinoh breast pads as I am a heavy leaker, particularly when nursing, these seem to do the trick.
