still lactating

[cambalise]

Has anyone else been able to solve this problem?  I stopped nursing my 3rd and last child more than 3 1/2 years ago, but my breasts still produce milk!  Not much, mind you, but I still get spontaneous leakage about twice a month, and if my breasts are massaged (by my husband), the drips just don't stop!  My doctor is not concerned regarding my breast health, my prolactin level has been checked and is normal, and I've had 2 normal mammograms in the past 18 months.  I tried taking birth control pills for 3 months but that had no effect.  I currently use an IUD for contraception.  Any help would be appreciated!

Ya Cabage worked for me

I am with sydney1 Cabbage leaves.  I thought that was funny that she put that, because as soon as I read your entry, I was going to suggest that.  Little world.
oh, and tell you husband no playing with them for awhile.  :)

Hi try Cabage I know it might seem wierd but it will dry your milk in your breasts. Try not to come in contact with them ie :massage . It will the dry up it is not that bug of a deal. keep the leaf of the cabage on each boob for about 1 hour a day it really works

Hi.  I can't help on this but I too can squeeze milk out after stopping breast feeding 6 months ago.  I did think it was odd.  But I don't lactate as much as you.  I can literally squeeze about a drop out, but I would have thought it would have all dried up by now.
