Is this weird?! I'm not worried, just realised today that milk still comes out if I squeeze gently, and I stopped bf over 4m ago ???

No I think it can take a while to stop especially if you fed for extended periods, so over 6 months! Totally normal xx

Ok thanks :-* Made me sad I'm not still feeding and for a fleeting moment wondered if I should dig the pump out. Then I remembered I'm enjoying the wine and cheese too much :P

Hope not, because I still had milk over a year later!

I'm still making milk 6 months later. Kind of sad too but reminds me of how my body worked for hers.
