I stopped nursing my daughter 10 months
ago. I just noticed a month ago that I
am still producing what appears to be
breast milk. Is this normal.

I'm not sure. I would think it's rare,
but prob happens. I got preg in sept 01,
then nursed her until 7/03, got preg again
in 6/03, and I just stopped nursing my
second baby. It's only been 2 weeks and
I still have milk. I was also wondering
when it would be completely gone since
i've been producing milk now for about 3
years. I'm going to look online.

I found this on another forum. A woman
asked how long it would take for her to
stop lactating. This is the response of
another woman.
As for still having milk after weaning,
that's perfectly normal. Although my
experience isn't really relevant (because
I was pregnant when my older child
weaned), I have friends who have continued
to be able to express some milk for many
months after weaning, and one friend who
says she would sometimes feel a letdown
sensation years after her daughter weaned.
But again, if you're not actually nursing
a child with some frequency, the fact that
your glands are still producing a little
milk doesn't prevent you from getting
pregnant again. Anon
