I am not br___tfeeding and I'm past the engorgement, but I am still leaking a bit. Anyone have an idea when it will go away completely? I had my baby 2 1/2 weeks ago.

Id like to know the same thing. Its sooo annoying! hehe. Poor hubby, I leaked on him last night while I was laying on his chest. I felt so bad, he keeps making fun of me now. I really dont want to go out and buy disposable nipple pads but I have a feeling I dont have a choice. I bought 2 washable sets. But at this rate..not sure when the leaking will stop. I had my baby one week ago today.

My milk started to level out after 4 weeks. I am 7 weeks post now and I still wear a nursing sports bra all of the time with nursing pads. For the first 4 wks. I was stuffing cloth diapers in my bra and changing them out 3 times a night. I have lost faith that it will every go away completely.

I guess everyone is different, I stopped leaking as soon as the engorgement went away. A friend of mine leaked for about 3 months and had to wear pads in her bra.

Well, I have stopped leaking since I began this thread! No one replied so I just found out on my own! But now I can tell the rest of you that I mostly stopped leaking between 3 and 4 weeks pp. I had to wear nursing pads in my bra but towards the end, there was so little that came out, it was hardly worth it. But I have heard that the washable kind are better than disposable.
