Hi. I stopped breastfeeding my baby about 5 weeks ago, but recently I feel like im leaking alittle and the milk will come out just a little bit. Is this normal or is it a sign I could be pregnant again and the milk is coming out still? Not sure cause this didnt happen with my first. thanks ↓

I still had milk up until about a month ago and stopped bfing last Oct. When I went in for my yearly they were going to do a hormone test but when I tried to get milk out none came so I thought it had stopped so they didn't do the test. Call your OB and see what they say they may want you to come in and check your hormone levels. ↑

Yep, me, too! DS weaned about 4 months ago now, and I still get that tingly let-down feeling and what looks like colostrum crusted around my nipples. I'm not spraying milk (more like oozing it), but I think spraying or leaking greater quantities is pretty normal, too. A friend sprayed milk every time she took a hot shower for about a year after her DD weaned. Her doc said she was leaking just enough during each shower to trick her body into thinking it needed to continue producing - strange huh? ↑
