Leaking Breastmilk

• Leaking milk is a common problem that nursing mothers experience during the first months. Usually, the leaking decreases as a balance is established between what the baby drinks and what the breasts make. Here's what you can do:
• Maintain a regular nursing pattern. Try to avoid skipping or postponing feedings. (Reason: More milk leaks from over-full breast)
• Use nursing pads (disposable or reusable) under your bra. Change pads frequently to keep your nipples dry.
• Tops (shirts) with patterns hide milk spots better.
• If this advice doesn't help, ask a lactation consultant for additional suggestions.
