Is it normal to never leak while breastfeeding?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes. Some people leak while breastfeeding and some never do; leaking isn’t a reliable sign of how much milk you’re making.

Breasts are not all that drippy. Some people leak between feeds or when they hear a baby cry, while others never leak at all—even when breastfeeding is going smoothly. It can also change over time.

Leakage by itself doesn’t tell you whether your baby is getting enough milk. If your baby is feeding well and your pediatrician is happy with their growth, not leaking is usually just one of those body quirks. If you’re worried about supply or feeding, a lactation consultant or your baby’s clinician can help you check.
