A member asked:

I nursed my son til 2 1/2 and stopped nursing a year ago. if i squeeze them i still have some nipple discharge. is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nipple discharge: This is normal, especially after a protracted period of nursing ("2 1/2 " years). Pockets of previously produced lactation will still contain fluid which when compressed will emit discharge.
