I used the Lansinoh cloth pads. With winter shirts they were fine, but with t-shirts or sheer shirts, they show. I don't wear anything now, as I have a very painful letdown, so I know in advance that a gusher is coming. I just put fingertip(or forearms if I'm out in public)on my nipples/areola until the letdown sensation subsides and I've never had any leakage. It kindof works like those silicone pressure cups that some women choose to use instead of pads. It works for me even when baby is nursing on one side and I don't want milk gushing out of the other side. The milk is still there, it's just you manually telling your body not to release it yet. It's another option you might not have thought about anyway. FYI.
Now, if I could just get running water to stop triggering my letdown!
Cheers! |
