Is this normal?!!! Fed Dd till she was 2.2 and my milk completely dried up about 6 months ago.

Dp was playing with my boobs and there’s milk again (TMI sorry!!). Is it just the stimulation causing it, or do I need to worry?

Dried up after 6 months that should say.

I don't know about it following pregnancy, but I suffered from galactorrhoea (producing milk when not pregnant/breastfeeding) and saw the gp, and a consultant, and had tests etc. Nothing worrying showed up at all, they said it can be just hormonal. Definitely get it checked by a doctor to be safe though.

Thanks @RestorationInsanity, I think I’ll give my GP a call tomorrow just to be on the safe side.

I know someone who experienced this. In her case, her prolactin levels were still very high, so it was hormonal. It's worth getting it checked out.

Is there a chance you could be pregnant? I've heard of some ladies say they started producing milk again and they took a test and it was positive

It can be a sign of high prolactin, which has many different causes (including medications, stress, pregnancy etc) Deffo talk to GP for further investigation to make sure it’s nothing worrying
