Okay, I gave birth almost three weeks ago. My milk came in shortly after. Well, my left boob is still leaking. How do I get it to stop? My right one doesn't leak at all. It is very annoying!!!

Haha good luck with that! The only way I don't leak is if I feed every 3 hours on the dot. If I go longer between feedings I'm leaking through bras and shirts or soaking my bed at night. I heard that "Lily pads" (you can get them at Babies R Us if you have one near) work well - they're not pads, they actually prevent leaking and you can wear them in water too (with summer coming up)...hope that helps!

I leak a lot, though it is slightly more on one side than the other. I think this is just to be expected when breastfeeding, though it has let up a little after about 10 weeks. I have to wear some sort of bra pads all the time. When I get out of the shower, I have to put a bra with some pads on within a few minutes or I leak all over the place.
