Leaking Breast Milkby Jennifer, CA My breasts leak so much, it feels as if I am bathing in breast milk. I feel very uncomfortable. Is there anything I can do about it? Baby Help Line Response: Hi Jennifer! Leaking breasts can be a real problem for some women. You didn't mention how old your baby is, but for most breastfeeding moms, leaking becomes less of a problem over time. In any case, if you notice that you're about to start leaking, you can press your index finger against the nipple. That will make the leakage stop. If that's not possible, for example if you are out somewhere around people, you can also press your arms towards your chest to obtain the same result (but in a more discrete way). To prevent leakage, try to avoid getting really full breasts, especially at occasions when the leakage might be embarrassing. Pump or hand-express some milk before heading outside. Or breastfeed. Finally of course, wear nursing pads. I personally prefer disposable pads, because it is so practical. Just make sure to change them often and bring lots of them in your diaper bag. Don't ever walk around with moist nursing pads, it can trigger infections. Hope this helps! Paula
