Why am I producing milk?

Question

I had my son 19 months ago and weaned him around 15 1/2 months to 16 months. I was all dried up. My husband gave em a squeeze last week and milk shot out of one. It's been producing for a week now and now the other one is too. Amy ideas? I'm on the mini pill, Lamictal, Effoxer, and Buspar.

Answer

I noticed that after I weaned my boys it seemed to dry up within a month or two but after that I noticed I would leak a little here and there. Mostly with stimulation. But i was told it's normal. That some women never fully dry up or that it could take years to dry up completely. I stopped b.f.ing about 4 years ago and I still notice around period or ovulation time slight leakage when they are played with or touched. I mean they need to be squeezed and stuff to leak but it still happens 4 years later.

Answer

It can take up to a year to completely dry up

Answer

I knew a girl with a 2 year old that would occasionally leak and she never even breastfed. Not sure what causes it to happen.

Answer

My Mom is 61, it's been 36 years since she had a baby, and she's long since been throughbthe change, and she will still occasionally leak milk. Not tons, but enough to notice.

Answer

I was told it was normal. Just not to mess with it. The more to express the more you'll make.
