Leaking milk

Does anyone know how long after you stop feeding it takes for your milk to totally dry up? I breastfed dd2 for 8 months and I'm still leaking a little milk in the morning even though I stopped 9 months ago.

Im somtimes still leak milk out my left breast, my son is now 2 and i only BF him for 5 months. My left breast was the one that had the best supply and was always full.
I went to see my GP about 6 months ago and she said that its completly normal and not to worry. Only worry if it turns a off yellow colour or starts to smell.

It can be very annoying though ah?

I'm getting pretty fed up with it.

Do you know if there is anything you can take to dry it up. I'm thinking herbal?
