FTM - leaking…

Baby is 11 weeks old and EBF. Will I ever stop leaking from the other boob when feeding on the other one!?!? Surely this a design flaw. Does everyone else just catch it with a Hakka thing, it’s not a lot so I just throw it away if I do do that plus it looks very watery (foremilk?) not worth a milk storage bag. Please Help, washing bras everyday.

I sometimes use the catch. But also end up just washing it down the drain. So I've just been folding up a wash cloth and shoving it in which ever side🤦🤷 you can also get nursing pads.

Nursing pads are a Godsend lol but the leaking does stop eventually. Ive just started pumping the opposite breast while baby eats because I'm trying to get a better milk stash this time around.

I have worn nursing pads 24/7 for over a year of nursing. The leaking has slowed for me now that I’m weaning but has still not stopped entirely.

I still leak at 14 months pp although not quite as bad as I did at the start 🤦🏽‍♀️

Hakkaa collection cup

Collection cups were a lifesaver for me. They don't suck like the Haaka does but stop you soaking through the bra! Edit: yes it did stop eventually!

I caught it in shells/collection cups, I used to combine all throughout 5 days so would end up with a good 5oz to put in the freezer or give to dad to feed in a bottle. Definitely invest in nursing pads! I barely leak at all now baby is almost 14m but still wear pads every day and night, just in case!

Yes will stop after you regulate to baby’s feedings🙂
