Probably worth popping to your gp to get some tests. There can be some sinister causes of this which are worth ruling out. Saying that I had a friend this happened to and it turns out her hand bag was rubbing her boob and stimulating milk production after stopping bfing. Hopefully it's nothing but I would def get it checked.
