Breast milk after stopping breast feedin

[Melbournemumma]

So I weaned my ds about 6 weeks ago and over the last few weeks I've still had some milk there when I squeeze my nipples. No suprise however, tonight when I did the same the stuff that came out was real thick and slightly sticky and wasn't sweet like breastmilk! Anyone got any clues as to what it might be?

It sounds like colostrum...what colour was it?

It probably is colostrum - I could still squeeze some out 12 months after stopping breastfeeding!

It was a yellow colour. I thought it might be coloustrum but wasn't sure

I still have milk 17 months after finishing breastfeeding so don't expect it to go away too quickly!!

Last night I slept so awkwardly that I leaked because of the pressure on my boob. Ahh I can only dream of colostrum, that would mean it's more like being gone!

It sounds like colostrum...I remember a MW calling it 'liquid gold'.

I have a GF who still had milk 4yrs after having her DD!

I stopped bf, then started to notice colostrum and I ended being ummmm......pregnant, possibility for you ???

Hi,

Don't squeeze!
chances are you wouldn't know it was there if you didn't squeeze. It's normal.
Stimulation of the breasts, such as expressing, or stimulation - perhaps through lovemaking can prolong the production of milk.
