Why do I still leak breast milk after weaning my child?

Question

My son is 16 months old. I weaned him off the breast when he was about 9 months old. Sometimes throughout the day I will notice that I am leaking a small amount of milk. Not everyday, or all the time. Maybe I don't notice it all the time. I don't know. If I squeeze my nipple drops of milk will come out! Why is there still milk when I have not nursed in so long? This is not a problem I am just curious about this.

Answer 1

You need to contact your doctor and he can tell you what to do to make it dry up.

Good Luck

Answer 2

any woman who has had a baby is capable of producing milk. It will eventually dry up without sucking, so just be patient.

Answer 3

some people just dont fully dry up.. my boys are 3-1/2 and i can still get milk if i squeeze.
