For babies? Sure it is, as long as the milk doesn't pick up any bacteria as it trickles down some surfaces. But if you lay on your back, then the milk won't leak/won't leak as much. Good luck! Besides, the babies, during pregnancy, are inside your body, so the milk won't affect them. But for you? Sure it's safe to drink.
