stopped breastfeeding over a year ago - but can still get stuff out

[ByThePowerOfGreyskull]

if I manipulate my boobs..

what is it? it is a deep cream colour doesn't look like the colostrum I had when pregnant with the boys.

do I have an infection in there and I am infact squeezing an internal spot? (sorry if too Ewww for people)

no pain in breast

I stopped bf the first week of May last year, and can still def express some milk, so you aren't alone

thanks Cmot - is it milk then do you think?

I don't think mine could be anything else as I have had it continuously since I stopped bfing. I fed for 2 years, so I think you keep producing a little for a long time after that

I guess it hasn't stopped since I stopped feeding so I hope you are right.. for some reason the alternative is just disgusting

stop squeezing then!!!

BTW, if I manipulate my breasts in the right way I too can get drops of milk out still, and I stopped over 5yrs ago.

please don;t aks how I know this

I know I know - I guess I was just worrying that it was a big hidden spot

Is that you Psycho?

Handy if you run out of milk for your morning cuppa.

Nah, tastes like evaporated milk. And yes, I do know - my mum once put EBM in her coffee when we had run out of milk in the hotel room that she, DS and I were staying in. She drank it too !

I was told by a GP that breasts need very little encouragement to produce milk and so if you stop squeezing and checking they will stop producing.

oh yes, t'was me BTW further down.

a few of us namechanged to piss MP off (in a fun way), on a thread she did about 'huns' being on MN!

I haven't fed for 2 years and I can still get a sort of colostrom out. That's why Aunties and Gradnparents can re-lactate and help out Mum in 3rd world! Amzing really!
