Can I check is it a must to wear nursing pad to prevent leakage ?

Hello, I'm preparing for my breastfeeding journey as im due in April. Can I check is it a must to wear nursing pad to prevent leakage ? Would it block the milk duct if I'm wearing it 24/7 or develop matisis? How often to change in a day and how long does the leakage stop?

Nursing pad doesn’t cause mastitis or blocked ducts. Not emptying your breasts regularly are the causes of mastitis and blocked ducts. Nursing pad is to prevent leaking and staining your bra and shirt. But if you do not want to wear one at home, then it’s ok to not use it at home. However, if u are going out, it’s better to wear, to avoid any embarrassing staining
