How long do your breasts still produce milk for after you've given up?

[MadameBoo]

DS stopped nursing in Januray just befoe he turned 3. Today I noticed little crusty bits on my nipples like when they leak colustrum. Does this mean I'm still producing milk? Or are my breasts about to fall off? :o

I am the typo queen.

Hmmm well I hope someone else backs me up on this but I still have this and I gave up BFing when DS2 was about 16 months and he is 4 in Feb.

Maybe I am a freak though!

Well I had zero milk the day after I stopped, so can't help- does it taste like milk?

I stopped in July after 16 months. Still get it, indeed can squeeze and get a few drops if I am in the mood. And mine does taste of milk (checking it was not pus you see...) I think it depends on how long you fed for???

It's all crusty so I'm not going to taste it! It's not like milk. My breasts are falling off aren't they?

How often does it happen Wizard?

DD I fed for over a year but my milk dried up pretty much straight away. DS I fed for nearly two years but I still get milk a year on!
Try hand expressing that should give you an answer to your question.

Ouch! Nada.

My nipples look normal now by the way. Just in case anyone was worrying :o

I fed dd1 for 8months and was still producing 6 months later. I didn't get just drops I got streams if I was in the bath
