Hey Ladies,
Last night i discovered that my nipples are leaking a clear fluid. This doesn't bother me because i know it is common however i would like to know from those who have experienced it how much is likely to come out and will i need to get some breast pads? ------------- ** MUM TO ** Ethan 29/08/2006 Brooke 22/09/2008 |

I think that is colostrum??
It depends on what you want to do IE breast pads if you dont want to leak through shirts then i would recommend getting them 
I havent had any leakage maybe im clogged lol |

ok so this happend to me quite early on so I started wearing breast pads during the day to stop my bra's from getting stained then when I git a little further along I started wearing them at night too cause I was waking up wet. Deffently get some brest pads I reccomend the Johston's ones they fit much nicer I found the treasure's one stuck (deffently not nice when you start feeding) someonse said the pigion ones are good I never used then myself. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Oh, the boob leakage! I started getting that at 14 weeks and it kept up until I had Mason. Unfortunately it doesn't appear to be an indicator that your milk will come in earlier though, mine still took 4 days to come in :( -------------

i had breast leakage before i found out i was pregnant and it has stopped for a while now. mine never got to the stage i needed to wear a breast pad.
so from my personal experience it was only a very small amount! argh! the joys of pregnancy aye?!!! |

yeah for me it was never enough to worry with breastpads. i haven't got to that stage yet with this pregnancy luckily! if you want to wear something to protect your bras maybe you could get some of the washable ones for now to save on disposables until your milk comes in after bubs?

I haven't had any either but my sis started leaking when she was round my stage. She wasn't wearing any breast pads but after a certain incident at work where she had to get changed and tell everyone that she had spilt her drink down her, she rushed to the supermarket in her lunch break and bought some! She is also putting cloth nappies down in her bed so she doesn't have to change the sheets all the time! ------------- Kelly, mum to DD, 19Jun06 (26wks 1lb15oz) DS1, 24Oct10 (32wks 4lb11oz) and DS2, 31Dec11 (32wks, 4lb11) http://lilypie.com">

| I had leakage, but not enough for pads. pads a resooo expensive. I bought some from japan ($20 for 144) and brought them over with me. However, I've heard the woollen ones are good. I saw some in the Baby Factory. I would defintely recommend getting washable ones as you need quitea few, and the prices certainly add up! |

Yip I had the same prob linelle, and used washable breast pads because it wasn't copius amounts but still enough to wet through my bra. You can fget cloth breast pads from the baby factory for about $5 a pair. Also I found putting a towel down in my bed helped at night as Kelly said, so you don't have to change sheets all the time. No you are not abnormal!! ------------- http://www.bump-and-beyond.com/">

Ok next question. Where do you get them from? Can you get them at the supermarket? ------------- ** MUM TO ** Ethan 29/08/2006 Brooke 22/09/2008 |

You can get disposible breastpads from supermarkets (usually in the same aisle as the nappies and wipes). I got my washable ones from the Warehouse (Tommy Tippee, $10 for 6, with the infant stuff like bottles and rattles) but I think you can get them from most baby stores. ------------- Becca, mum of 2 girls & 3 boys |
