I wanted to have enough stocked for at least a month. I also hear that after a few months you stop leaking and don't need many if any at that point Is this true for some but not all I'm sure??
I never used that many at all I just didn't leak much. So don't stock up until you know what your boobs are going to do. Never used them either.
Well maybe like 4 times, but not because I was leaking, but my nipples were too perky from nursing and NEVER went in and would show through my shirt. I was also wondering what the best brand is to use? Something really soft I just got the regular Lansinoh disposable ones but I have no idea if they are any good. Thanks for the input ladies! Nursing pads absorb milk that may leak between feedings. You wear them inside your bra to keep it dry and keep milk away from your clothing.
They come in different styles, shapes, and sizes and can be disposable or reusable. No matter which style you choose to use, make sure they are contoured to fit snugly against your body. You may find nursing pads in the form of flat circles, but they will bunch when placed in your bra. Also, choose nursing pads that are soft and absorbent and that allow your breasts to breathe - avoid those with waterproof or plastic liners that can trap moisture against your skin. When you choose to breastfeed, you need to be prepared for your breasts to leak milk in between feedings.
It is also common for your milk to leak if you hear a baby crying or it is close to the time your baby would normally feed. Also, while your baby is nursing on one breast, the other will leak - this is because your let-down reflex happens in both breasts at the same time. It takes a little while for your milk to become regulated so expect to wear nursing pads for at least a few months. As mentioned above, you don't want to trap moisture against your skin.
It is important to keep your nipples as dry as possible to avoid irritation or yeast infections. That means that even when you are using breast pads, they need to be changed frequently when they are wet. There are beautiful associations when it comes to nursing - cuddling with your baby as you provide nourishment. And, while breastfeeding is a wonderful and rewarding experience, it does come with some unpleasant side effects like sore nipples for a short time - it usually takes a few weeks for nipples to toughen up and leaking breasts.
Nursing pads can help keep you comfortable and prevent embarrassing leaks from soaking through your clothing. They are available, like diapers, in disposable or reusable options. So which is the best option for you? Disposable nursing pads are made of a thin absorbent material and come in different levels of absorbancies similar to sanitary napkins. You can purchase a box of disposable pads that contain anywhere from 50 to or more. They usually have a sticky back to adhere them to your bra, which can impede breathability.
When they get wet, simply throw them in the garbage and put in new ones. Many disposable nursing pads, like disposable diapers, contain absorbent chemicals that you will be putting directly against your skin. They also lack proficient air circulation, which can lead to discomfort and trapped moisture. Breast infections thrive in moist environments, so if you are especially leaky, you will have to go through a lot of disposable pads, which is not only inconvenient, but also expensive.
Reusable nursing pads are cloth pads some with a breathable leak-resistant layer that fit into your bra similar to disposable pads. Because they are made of natural fibers, cloth nursing pads provide better air circulation, which is necessary to aid in the sore nipple healing process. Rather than disposing of these pads after use, they are easy to wash and dry - most can be washed easily with your baby's clothes, but you may prefer to wash them in a laundry bag to keep pairs together.
Not only will you be saving the environment by reusing your pads instead of throwing them in the garbage, but you will save money as well. NSW, Australia Total posts: Morning Tracey: How many nursing pads you go through will depend on how much leakage you have, i found that i changed my pads twice a day so thats 4 per day but you might change more or less frequently, you will need the nursing pads through you breastfeeding period if you intend to breastfeed or if you are not breastfeeding, just until your supply 'dries up'.
Hope this helps, goodluck with you up and coming birth, let us know how you get on!! Posted Friday 10 June am. Hi Tracey, be prepared I say, I leaked a a lot with my two kids after I had them. I had a fair amount of milk though not everyone does and it wasn't uncommon for me to change my breast pads 3 - 4 times a day, sometimes even more.
