Hello frea.

My son is two and a half years old now. I stopped breastfeeding when he was 18 months. I can still squeeze a very little amount of breast milk out. I have heard of women lactating if there is a baby close to them in their life without having had one recently themselves... Also, if you started pumping again, your body would start producing more. Women are AMAZING!! I think its totally normal for you to be able to squeeze a little out.  If you wanted, with some work, you could start lactating at full force again. Hope this helps!
