Still producing milk after weaning
Hello everyone,
I started weaning my baby girl in August, bfing for the last time on Sept 1. Since then, I occassionally notice milk leaking when I take a shower. My dh has been out of the country for 11 months and returned last week. When he would stimulate my nipples, milk would leak out. Is this normal so long after weaning? Two of my bfing books say that milk production can last a month or so, but it's been over 5 months for me. TIA shelley |

milk production can last a month or so, but it's been over 5 months for me. Yeah, it's normal. I know a few moms who could still feel the occasional letdown or express a little fluid *years* after their last baby weaned. Holly Mom to Camden, 3yo EDD #2 6/8/04 |

The first time I weaned, I still had milk until partway through the next pregnancy. The second time was three years ago (wow! can hardly believe that!) and I can still get a drop or so on one side. --Helen |

Now she's 11 months old. I still have milk. Not letdowns but I still have it. If she shows any interest in nursing at all again, I'm sure we'll be back. I'm pregnant though! I don't know if that makes any diff either way. |

It's just under two months here, and I can still easily express a little. Which is very handy if Luke has a cut or a sticky-looking eye. Lara EPed for Luke, 14.5 months |
