    Milk still

    I bf DD for 13.5 months and we stopped 5 months ago. I can still very easily squeeze milk out of both breasts still.
    Is this normal? Will it always be there?

    It can take a while to go away, yes. Sometimes mums can produce tiny amounts of milk years later.
    If you notice an increase, discharge/leaking, lumps and so forth, then speak to a health professional. Otherwise, if you don't squeeze it you won't know it's there

    I had a 5year break between BF no 1 and getting pregnant with number 2 (6.5yrs between them) I never dried up between them. Interestingly the only time I have ever dried up completely since having my first baby is when I have been pregnant again.

    lol Joeve xo

    I always found colostrum after my miscarriage and it only stopped the first eight weeks I was pregnant... My mum said she could always find milk, up until a few years ago when she bit menopause... My baby brother is 19... And. She only breastfed for six weeks ish.
