Abstract: For some women leaking is little more than an occasional drop or two during breastfeeding; for others it may be copious amounts--sometimes at anything but opportune moments. Many times mothers are given mixed messages about leaking. If a new mother is leaking milk, we reassure her that she has plenty of milk. We routinely suggest that mothers can stop leaking by putting direct pressure on the nipple, as if nursing mothers can expect to leak. Moreover, how many times do we hear from mothers who are sure that their milk supply has decreased because they no longer leak?
