What to do about breast milk leaks during feedings

While feeding your baby, you may notice milk leaking from your other breast. This type of breast milk leak affects many mothers, some more than others! However, leaking milk is normal, especially during the first six weeks;1 this doesn't necessarily mean you have too much milk. But if you think you may have an oversupply, read our expert advice for more information. In the meantime, breast milk collection cups can help.

What are breast milk collection cups?

Breast milk collection cups are placed over the nipple to collect breast milk leaks, ensuring that not a drop of milk is lost during feedings. Medela breast milk collection cups are made with materials that are suitable for your skin and fit your body, making them comfortable and discreet to wear.

When to use milk collection cups

You can use breast milk collection cups during feedings to collect leaking milk as described above, and also between feedings to prevent wet spots. Just remember to remove them every two to three hours and let your breasts air dry, as this prevents any excess moisture from damaging your nipples. And avoid wearing breast milk collection cups in bed at night, as this can cause skin sensitivity. Instead, you can use disposable nursing pads to absorb heavy leaks, or Ultra Thin disposable nursing pads if your flow is lighter.

How to use Medela breast milk collection cups

You must assemble the two parts of the milk collection cups before use. It's a simple task:

The soft, flexible silicone membrane is designed to be gentle on the skin. Place it on the outside of the breast cup, securing it around the breast. After assembly, place the breast milk collection cup inside your bra, with the membrane opening centered over your nipple. Its practical opening should face upward.

It's recommended to wear a nursing bra with breast milk collection cups. They usually have more space than a regular bra, which means the cups put less pressure on your breasts.

How to use collected breast milk

You should only use the breast milk collected during feedings to feed your baby. You should discard any milk collected between feedings. When removing the milk collection cup, lean forward slightly. Then, use the special pouring hole on the cup to transfer the breast milk collected during feedings to a disinfected container, such as a breast milk bottle or storage bag. If you are not giving this milk to your baby immediately, place the container directly in the refrigerator and use the milk within 24 hours.

How to clean Medela milk collection cups

It's important to keep breastfeeding accessories clean, and this includes breast milk collection cups. Before using them for the first time, and once a day thereafter, disinfect the breast milk collection cups as follows:

Separate the pieces and place them in a small saucepan with cold distilled water. If you don't have distilled water, add a teaspoon of citric acid to the tap water to prevent limescale from forming. Boil the water with the milk collection cups for five minutes. Carefully remove the water and allow the pieces to dry on a clean cloth.

It's also important to clean the milk collection cups after each use. Separate the parts and wash them with a mild detergent. Then, rinse them well with cold water and let them dry on a clean cloth. Both the outer cup and the inner membrane are dishwasher-safe, so you can also use this cleaning method, or you can use a microwave-safe bag.
