    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!
