Newbie question - How long do breasts leak for?

[Ezz]

Oh - I should say that I still leak from the other side when I feed. I just use a washer on the other side when I'm at home or a breastpad if I know I'm going to be feeding while we are out. Putting my finger on the non-feeding side during let-down is usually enough to stop the leak - but I like to have the washer/breastpad as back-up.

I still leaked until about 9 months and continued to leak when I fed until DS self weaned at 13 months.

Kept the breast pad company's in business.

i still leak when i'm due to fed and my ds is 4 months old its annoying if you go out for a couple of hours without them and you start leaking i wear breast pads all the time just in case

Thanks for all your replies! I wanted to get an estimate of how long I'd continue leaking for so I know whether to keep stocking up on breast pads or not. Sounds like it's very different for everyone! So I'll have to wait and see.

My leaking has slowed, but I still leak probably once a day. Not a big leak though. My bub is 5 months old.

Itsme - just keep thinking about what a great supply you must have!!
I stopped leaking as soon as my supply settled down around 8-9 weeks I think and I've never leaked since, even when DS skips a feed!
