How long did it tke before ur boobs stopped leaking? Evan will be 3 weeks old tomorrow and mine are still leaking. I thought it was only supposed to last a few days?? Maybe I'm wrong. I'm fed up wearing pads in my bras. Anyone else still leaking?

Once I stopped nursing it took a while before my milk dried up completely, I can't remember exactly how long, I didn't leak the whole time, but i know that probably even a couple of months later they would leak if there was any kind of pressure on them...

Well, with me.... i breast fed Stone 5 weeks. Of course my milk never fully came it. lol He kept loosing weight so I switch to formula.... I didnt express for a day... and it hurt a bit that night... I pumped. And then that was it. I was done. lol So, I have no suggestions.

BUT..... I have heard cabbage leaves help.... just put it in you bra.... good luck!

Julian is 3 weeks old today, and I am still leaking, too. Usually when I lay down, but other times too. If you try cabbage leaves, it will dry up pretty fast. Good luck!

I wear a bra all day including to sleep in. I do put fresh cabbage leaves in each cup every 2 hours or so. It is drying up nicely.

It will vary from mom to mom. But generally most moms will dry up in a few weeks, some much less, some much more. I've known moms who have stopped bf'ing who leaked for like 2 months afterwards. Their body wanted to still produce milk, even tho their kid wasn't interested anymore. :shrug

Def. try the cabbage leaves they are really supposed to work wonders!
