| The condition is called galactorrhea. Please google to find out about diagnosis and management and see your doctor. ↑ |

I bet you are now getting ready for # 2, what a blessing.
I would not be upset by this, just accept it as normal. ↑ |

| That's funny that you mentioned this. I have had the same problem since I had my first daughter which is 4 1/2 years old! I nursed her until she was a year old. At that time, I was still lactating 9 months later until I became pregnant with my second daughter. After I had her, I nursed for 14 months. It has currently been 13 months since I have quite nursing, and I can still get milk out! It is definitely freaking me out! Currently, I found out that I am expecting again in April with my 3rd, therefore, I guess we'll see what happens! ↑ |

| My son is 2 and I stopped nursing at 6 months. I checked to see if I was lactating because a co-worker mentioned that she never dried up after 2 years. It flows out easily after 18 months!! I went to my OB because I have also experienced a huge amount of hair loss. He first put me on bromocripitine (parlodel). Lots of side effects. I was very dizzy with low BP. Hated the medicane. Milk production did not stop. He drew labs today to check hormones. I hope to find an answer..but my periods are regular so I doubt it's hormones?!? Guess I'll just be a 'freak'. ↑ |

| I'm glad I found this site. I've been looking for answers everywhere. It's been about 8 months since I stopped breastfeeding and lately I've been having the let down tingling. I've been trying to conceive with no luck so I'm wondering if this tingling means my body is not back to normal yet and not ready to conceive. I haven't been able to get any milk out, though, so I'm confused. Any advice??? ↑ |

| I too have this same problem -- I stopped breastfeeding my son 10 months ago when he was 14 months old and have noticed on and off that I am still producing milk. I didn't think much of it, but I'm now going through my second miscarriage in a year and one suspected cause is high levels of prolactin -- which help you produce milk but also can inhibit the production of progesterone needed in early pregnancy. I don't know yet if this is my problem -- I have to wait to do testing -- but I'm upset I never thought to mention to my doctor that I was still lactating. I just assumed this was a "leftover" from baby #1 and just a sign that my body was good at this particular job. For those of you who have concerns, talk to you doctor. There are medications that can solve this problem if it's what you have. ↑ |

| My youngest son will be eight in november and I still get the let down feeling, and just from curiousity I pressed on my breast and colostrom appeared~ How long will this last? I feel like I could pick up breast feeding anytime and there would be no problem with milk production. ↑ |

I just had my son 5 months ago. I have gotten my period twice since then. I just had it again about 2 weeks ago, but im starting to lactate again... i nursed him until he was 6 weeks old and i haven't lactated since 2 days after i stopped... i used the pill for about a month but it was making me swell up a lot. like the inside of me stomache, and making me have my period 3 times a month, so i stopped. I've been having the feeling that im pregnant again, but ive taken 4 test in the past 3 months, and they've all said that im negative. I need someones opinion other than my mother in laws lol. so if you have any advice, please let me know. thanks :)

| I have started in the last few years having really sore breasts before I'm due on and notices that my breast feel I'm lactating. So I squeed and found that I I'm lactating and this is more noties able a few wks before I'm due on! the plain get worse as the days get closer... I went to my doctor but didn't realise that that I had started to lactate as well. my son is 5 and I finished breastfeeding when he was a year old I don't know what I can do about this as it can be a real problem with the plain! Does any else have any ideas on this? ↑ |
