Why Does Breast Milk Leak?
🥛 Full or Overfilled Breasts
When your breasts get too full, the pressure can cause milk to leak on its own — your body’s natural way of relieving the buildup.
đź•’ Irregular Feeding or Pumping
Skipping feeds or pumping late? Your body keeps making milk, and if it’s not released in time, it leaks to let it out!
➡️ Feeding on One Side
Nursing from one breast can trigger the let-down reflex in both. So, the other side might leak — even if baby’s not on it!
đź’ˇ Stop the Leaks:
Use a milk collector on the non-nursing side to catch every drop and stay dry — no waste, no mess!
