You can typically stop wearing breast pads once your milk supply has fully dried up and you are no longer experiencing any leakage.
Here are some factors that can influence when you stop wearing breast pads:
- Time: Most women's milk supply dries up within a few weeks after stopping breastfeeding. However, some women may experience leakage for longer periods.
- Body: The amount of milk your body produces can vary depending on your individual physiology.
- Frequency: The more frequently you breastfeed or pump, the longer it may take for your milk supply to dry up.
- Hormones: Your body's hormone levels will gradually return to their pre-pregnancy levels after you stop breastfeeding, which can influence your milk production.
It's important to note that there is no set timeframe for when you can stop wearing breast pads. If you are experiencing any discomfort or leakage, it's best to continue using them until the leakage subsides.
