Re: Leaking..

The last time you asked the question about this, I wrote about what happened with my first daughter.  From about 6 weeks along, I leaked enough to fill a swimming pool!  One side will leak more than the other, and it is an indicator of which boob is going to produce more of a milk supply.  I've also been told that when you work this out, start bubs on the other side first and offer the more productive side second.  Helps to even up the supply.

It is normal.  Sad, but true, and I started to leak a little more myself the other night.  Now I just need a sugar plantation, and my cuppas are set! lol.

Re: Leaking..

Totally normal..  I leaked like there was no tomorrow at first, then when baby did come I did not leak at all, then I started leaking again..

Wait until after baby is born and you hit the shower..  It's like a hose.. :)

Re: Leaking..

Hi Dannii

I believe this is quite normal. I dont know how (or even if) you can stop it from happening. But you can buy breast pads. They stick on the inside of your bra and will catch any leakage. Nothing worse than walking thru the middle of a busy shopping centre with a big wet patch on your top LOL

Re: Leaking..

Yes it's normal. If you are leaking now, just wait til bub arrives!! When i first had Austin as soon as i heard a baby cry, it didnt have to be Austin either, i would leak everywhere. Gross.
