leaking: suggestions required

Kirukiri,

Code:

 
I have leaky breasts, engorgement and heavy letdown problem. I get a letdown even if my LO is drinking from he other one :( I use breast pads, but I still get wet. My little girl used to demand feed every 2 hrs in the day. 

It's pretty common for most of the new mothers-to-be. you've not specified how many months your baby is? But still, you'd feel happy that you are with surplus and sufficient milk supply.

Code:

Now that she has started sleeping longer in the night, I get heavily engorged, painful and leaky breasts that even wet my bed.

I've experienced the same on my 1-4 months, heavily engorged and leaky, but how much the frequency you feed your LO, that much you will be feeling comfortable, less engorged.

Code:

 
Any suggestions??

But as your LO started to sleep lil longer, nurse them as they demand...
it will be set soon! dont worry...:-D

 

Quite common as i can read. Even I faced the similar problems in 2nd and 3 rd month. My LO continuosly sleeps in the night for 4 to 5 hrs.. There is nothing i can do. I did make the bedwraps wet.

What i did is to set an alarm after 3 hrs.. and express a little out in the washroom.. Pumping doesnt help that will lead to pumping all night so dont do that... after 1 week things went normal.. as my LO started to have it once in 3 hrs.. had little problem in the night. Do not force feed the baby with the full breast.. it is better to express it out a little and then feed it. Otherwise baby poops foamy.

 

These may be of your help, Mommy
