Milk came out of my Boob

[AHappierHour]

OMFG!! Please tell me someone else had this happen to them and them not be nursing or PG. I just jad my period, started on 4/1 ended in 4/10. I feel like I'm ovulating right now.

I was getting dressing and I noticed a little milk bubble and squeezed my nipple and milk came out

It's been about a year since I last nursed ds2.

[fluffernutter]

It's been 13 months since I nursed DD and milk still comes out of my boobs.

[sugarbear]

I expressed milk all over the boob shelf when I got my last mammogram, and it had been a year since I nursed, too. I was mortified, but the tech said it happens all the time.

[ginap]

Dude. The very same thing happened to me 2 nights ago. I haven't nursed in 3 years.

[ijack]

I haven't nursed in over 3.5 years and I still have milk :/

[sunshineluv]

Yep, I last nursed DD on 2/18/15... and if I squeeze my nipple a bit of milk will come out.

[MixedBerryJam]

It was at least a couple of years for me. And it may be purely psychological, but I still get a letdown sensation sometimes when I hold a baby. My actual kids are 18 & 19.

[papie]

After weaning, I could always squeeze some milk out.  I wonder if it will ever dry out or if I'll be 90 and still able to breastfeed.

I haven't nursed in 3 years and stuff come out every once in awhile. I get the letdown sensation ALL. THE. TIME.

No milk comes but this happens to me. Newborn cries give me the instant boob tingles.

[AHappierHour]

Sorry it happens to all of you but thanks for making me feel normal.

[speckledfrog]

This is the kind of shit people don't tell you.

[FastHands]

Every once in a while, yep. The biological process to change the structure of your tissue and inactivate those glands takes a long time and I don't think is ever 100%.

Noooo. I hate the sensation- it's nearly painful, even. Now I have to prepare the possibility of feeling it for years? Awesome.

It's not quite as forceful or hardcore as when I was nursing, but it's definitely still there.

Why are pregnancy and child birthing SO WEIRD?

[dancelnow]

I can always express a few drops so I tried relactating recently for a planned adoption. With a pump I was able to get it to an ounce a day so I'm sure I could make milk given a newborn. My baby is 5.

.My great grandmother was able to reactivate when my grandmother's birth mom died when she was 3 weeks old. Her youngest at the time was 7!!

[keyslover]

Totally normal. How do I know? I panicked and went to the OB/GYN. We did other tests to rule things out, but nothing was abnormal. I even had a mammogram done!
They did say the more you express milk (like to see if it's still coming out) the more you will produce.

[sallywalker]

Yes. T was 3 and I didn't breastfeed. It can be a symptom of a pituitary tumor, so my OB had me go through some testing. Thankfully it was nothing and I was just randomly lactating.

Both of my BFFs were pregnant and almost due at the time. I am convinced I had sympathy lactation. Lol!

[fezzik]

When we took C to her first check up (when she was a week old), the pediatrician was looking her over and he was like, "Let me show you something so you don't freak out if you notice this at home." He shows us these little lumps under her nipples and said she was producing milk, but it was nothing to worry about. (He gently squeezed and milk came out) He said it just happens to some babies. Apparently I passed some lactating hormones on to her while I was pregnant. He told us to leave it alone and it would go away, but it was so odd. Thankfully my baby is no longer lactating, haha.

Same here. And I haven't nursed in almost 6 years. In fact, it happened from just reading this thread. 

[happywife]

Oh no, why did I come in here? I made a wrong turn.

What the what?! I would never describe it like....that. Maybe like the feeling of a blood pressure cuff when it slowly releases. You feel tingling when your blood starts to flow again and it is almost painful.
