I think she means beast shells, I have some avent ones and when I feed or express I use it on th eother one, normally collect about 2 ozs then put it in with what I've expressed!

she might mean breast shields - like little cups that have a rubber rim to collect leaking milk if there's a lot. If not normal breast pads do the trick

Hi,
I have been told by my MW that usually when you breast feed you leak form the other breast? She told me about these cups you can get to put on the leaking breast as a nother way of expressing milk. I dont know what these cups are called or where you can buy them.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

breast shells will collect the milk, they dont express it for u though....
lily pads dont hold milk either, they are only good if u dont leak much, as tehy apply a light pressure on the nipple to help stop leaking.
