I would like to know if it is normal to experience a little amount of breastleak after you stop breastfeeding for over 6months now...It does not happen everyday though...but I am a little concern.

Thank you

It can happen. I had some of that when I was in my 20s before I had children even. Do you squeeze your nipples sometimes to see if milk will come out? I did for a few months now and then, after I weaned my son, told my doctor and she said to stop squeezing and it would stop. It did.

I'm perfectly healthy that way, so it didn't mean anything.

Rarely, breast secretions can mean that you are secreting extra prolactin hormone because of a tumor in the pituitary gland, but this is rare and very unlikely given that you were breast feeding recently.

Hi,

I am in my mid 30s and this is my first child. Your answer calms me down, thank you...My baby is 8 months old now. I will be visiting my gynea tomorrow for a "cervical cancer prevention jab" and would ask him about this at the same time...

This happenned to me for the past few days even without me squeezing my nipple (left nipple), so I squeezed the other nipple and there is some clear liquid that ooze out...just a tiny bit...

Two months isn't that long. It takes a while for the breasts to get back to normal. I nursed my two sons for 15 months and 12 months. I don't remember how long the leaking went on but pretty sure it was longer than 2 months. The doctor can give you a blood test if he thinks there's anything to rule out. But don't worry. :) Chances are good it's nothing.

It is not unusual for breasts to leak after stopping breast feeding. This is probably just a milk gland that is still secreting. Blood tests can be done to see if you have an increased prolactin level, indicating possible pituitary tumor, but I doubt this is it. Some medications do cause galactorrhea, are you on any medications? Stop squeezing the breast for milk, just let it dry up. Also, hot showers can stimulate the leaking, so try not to get hot shower on breasts.
