Six Months Later still leaking breast milk????

[Kimbob]

Hi,
I had my son on Nov 15,'07 and only breast feed for a month, now almost six months later my milk has not completely dried up.  I talked to my doctor and he ran some blood test and said they all came back normal, but never told me anything else about still having milk?  Am I always going to leak like this for ever, or is there something I can do or take to completly dry up my milk?

I had the same problem with my first son, and after two years was still leaking????  

I also had my tubes ties and my right ovary removed, so I not having any more kids????  

I would appreciate any help anyone can give me... Thanks

I seem to have the same problem. It has only been 3 months since i delivered. But i never breastfed..is that normal too?

Yes, it is normal for some up to a year or later. Your hormones are just balancing out. But, the more you squeeze and stimulate them, the more milk produced. Although some just simply leak a little. It will dry up in time. Best wishes to you.

Hi I also had this happen to me with my daughter all I can say is eventually I just tried to ignore it and stopped noticing the milk. (I noticed it mostly while I was in the shower). I know that probably wasn't all that helpful but I have heard some weird cabbage rumor where you put the leaves in your bra and its supposed to dry up. Take Care!

Perfectly normal.....relax.  When my best friend had her baby, everytime she cried I leaked milk, hadn't nursed in 18 months.
