A member asked:
I had my son 8 months ago, i bottle fed instead of breast fed, is it normal to lactate out of the blue?

Yes: Studies have shown that even just the sound of a baby crying can cause a woman's mammary glands to secrete. This is not concerning. Very normal.

It happens : Some women can still produce small amounts of milk months and even years later.
