Still producing milk 4m pp, normal?

Question

Hi! I'm almost 4 months postpartum and I'm still producing small amounts of milk & colostrum, sometimes it still leaks, but it's usually when my fiance and I are having some alone time. I breastfed for the first 5 days and then had to stop. I've looked online and everything I've seen says it should completely dry up within just a few weeks of stopping. Can anyone help me explain why this is still going on please? TIA!

Answer

If your fiance enjoys playing with your breasts that could cause the production of milk to continue as well

Answer

Things like holding your baby and your baby crying stimulate milk supply so chances are you've experienced both of these things daily which may be why you still have supply :)
