How long for milk to stop

Stopped bf in December but still getting some milk now. How much longer until my milk stops completely?

Mine stopped pretty much straight away. But I suppose we had been winding down before completely stopped, therefore production had already decreased so I don't remember ever leaking or getting swollen when the kids weaned.
Are you getting swollen or sore? Are you in good health etc otherwise?

Do you mean you are still feeding and getting some or you don't pump/feed but still leak etc? It's unusual to still have milk after that long if you are doing nothing to use it.
Mine took around 3 weeks to dry up once I stopped feeding. The longest person I know took 4 weeks.
