    oh so it's normal. It sounded so unusual. I never checked when I stopped feeding DS1 though I only fed him for 10 months. I have to wonder if the longer you nurse the longer you will produce?? Any truth to that?

    I would say its normal. I had milk and occassionally leaked in the 4years I wasn't BF between no1 and no2. My friend had a m/c and went on to have her first born 8years later and had the same for those 8years. At any time during the time I had milk but wasn't BF I am confident I could have easily started relactating. I think thats why in some cultures so many women can BF the babies (granparents, aunts etc) even many years after they have had a baby themselves as they haven't completely dried up.
