Lactating nearly 2 years after birth ?... sorry if too much info...

I have a probably very silly question...

is it possible to still sort of lactate nearly 2 years after giving birth and only having breast fed for a month?

Basically noticed a bit of dried white stuff in the centre of my nipple last night when having a shower and it's like what I had a few months before giving birth. I thought, weird, and gave my nipple a little squeeze and there was a drop of 'milk'.

Is this normal or something to worry about?

Yes, normal, I have that too. Love the idea of boobs being on permanent 'standby' mode!

@ permanent stand-by mode... just like our TV

phew I'm normal, well at least in this respect
