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.
Thank you
Now to just get the vision of fermenting yoghurt in my boobs out of my head and to stop squeezing lol
It's alright, doesn't work that way ;)
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.
