A member asked:

How long do breasts produce milk for after stopping breastfeeding a baby? i stopped a year and a half ago and a little still comes out when squeezed.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Usually does not take very long.However, any stimulation to the nipples can prolong milk production even a vigious shower can stimulate them,there could be a hormonal inbalance. Stop all stimulation and if does dry up see you Gyn/Ob.
