Always have leaking breasts?

Welcome to the Club.

Let’s look at the good news about leaking breasts first: You will very likely have a really great supply of breast milk! (In my case, I always said that my right breast could nurse triplets by itself because it leaked so much!)

Now the bad news: There is not really much you can do about leaking. You will just have to always wear nursing pads or deal with a lot of wet shirts.

Nursing bra pads will prevent the embarrassing wet spots from appearing on your cute clothes. Nothing ruins a really great outfit like a big wet spot on the front. Try to find good nursing pads that can breathe. I found that disposable ones worked best for me because I soaked through so fast. (Here are the ones I liked best.)

Try different options and see what ones work best for you.
