Still Leaking from Breasts after nursing....
Hi, I nursed my third child for one year and finished nursing in April 2007. I am still leaking, but only from one nipple. It usually occurs when stimulated or if I am holding my child in the morning. Is this normal? I nursed my other two children and this did not occur with them. I was just seeking some advice as to how normal this was and how long this may go on. It's been three months....
i still leak and i stopped nursing in january 07, ive heard you can leak for up to a year after you stop
Yes, it's very normal. I nursed 2 of my kids for a little more than a year and my milk dried up right away, but with my last baby, which I breastfed for 16 months, my milk has still not dried up completly. I stopped nursing him about 8 months ago. 2 months ago I was still leaking some but now it only comes out if I sqeeze it out. My Dr. told me that it's normal and not to worry about it. Eventually it will go away. He has seen it last a year or more with some women. I guess it has something to do with hormones and the number of children you have nursed.
