is this normal?

I breastfed for 14 months but stopped about a month and a half ago. I woke up leaking today. I haven't leaked since I stopped, is this normal?

Anyone? I was folding laundry this evening and noticed it happened again

I stopped feeding about a month and a half ago also and I notice little tiny leaks every now and then as well. I can still get milk out if I squeeze. I think it just takes a while to dry up, especially if you were lactating for a while.

I still had milk for a good few months after I stopped nursing Sophie.

I started leaking 18 months after I stopped BF my son. I was rsferrr to the breast clinic for a mammogram but they told me it was fine and not actually that uncommon, something to do with an old milk duct expanding or something. It happened on and off for a few months then It stopped.

Wow 18 months later? Gez! It's always my left one too. I actually even used to leak before he was even born

I found that I leaked a bit before my period was due the first 3ish months after I stopped BFing with both of mine, a hormone thing maybe?

 

[ButterCup17]

I'm mid cycle right now, but yeah that makes sense that's it's hormonal

Yep mine tied in with my periods too. I totally freaked out about it having not BF for well over a year but they said leaking milk is rarely a cause for concern in women who have been pregnant or breastfed. Mine was always the same side too. The joys of motherhood!

Update: I saw my Dr today. She said it felt like tissue but sent me to an ultrasound to be safe and they found several cysts and said to come back in 6 months
Anyone else have cysts jn their breasts? Now I'm nervous...

Sorry, I updated the wrong thread. This was my update for the thread about lumps I felt in my breast last week. But they moved thread and now idk where it is! Ugh I hate when they do that!!!

Buttercup, have you tried looking at your UserCP to see your old threads? You will find your other post that way.

I hope the cysts are nothing serious.
