I had LOADS of milk at first. I don’t remember when it became the right amount for my one baby, but it was awhile. Are you using disposable breast pads?

@Shawna yeah I am. They’re absolutely soaked on a morning 😅

I ended up for a while sleeping on top of a towel because of this 😂 Little one is 4 months tomorrow and it’s definitely settled, only seem to have that issue now if he’s gone from a long stretch at nights to short stretches and then back to a long stretch!

I ended up putting nappies on my boobs overnight to stop this😅, I think it took about a week until I could sleep with just the usually nipple pads x

mine did that then regulated

It does eventually regulate. For me that happened around 6 months and from then on my baby could nurse every hour or skip 6+ hours and it didn't matter, I had no discomfort or leaking. It's different for everyone but I was like this too in the beginning
