I gave birth to a little boy 20 weeks ago. My milk came in like normal and dried up a few weeks later. I noticed yesterday that my boobs were leaking a white milky liquid. Is this normal to have milk after 41/2 months after giving birth? I have a implant in my arm that prevents pregnancy, it last 3 years and I just got it in October. Just concerned.. Should I take a test??
Once you lactate you might always produce a little milk.
I'm menopausal and my son is 15 and I still get a little dried milk residue on my nipples every so often.
It's totally normal.
I haven't nursed in about 3 years, and still randomly get a little milk once in a while.
Milk can be produced for quite a while. I'm assuming you are bottle feeding from the start? I really would not be concerned about being pregnant.
As always, seek a doctors advice.
I had milk in my breasts for about 4 years after weaning. If my breasts were stimulated (even my an ill-fitting bra), I'd leak a bit.
Take the test so you feel reassured and then google which foods and herbs promote lactation. Possibly you've ingested something that has caused you to relactate.
