I had my third child ten months ago and havent breastfed in nine months. I still lactate. Is this normal. With my first child, I lactated even three years after her birth and I only breatfed for a couple months. My breasts are small and they're not "full" or anything. They lactate at the slightest amount of pressure. Has this happened to anyone else?
Answer:
You should tell your dr. It could be just a normal variation - and it probably is. Have them check your prolactin hormone level. In rare instances, a pituitary tumor can cause this. It is very rare though. Go get checked.
Take birth control pills, it drys up the milk.
Go see your doctor. If you aren't breast feeding you shouldn't still be lactating. Your doctor can assure you nothing is wrong %26 give you the medication needed to clear up the issue.
Some women produce milk for years after a baby. It isn't much, just a little. But, you shouldn't be releasing milk like that. I would suggest you talk to your doctor about it. It could be a hormone thing, which can be easily corrected. It could just be your body doing what it wants to do too.
