I heard that if someone sucks on a woman's nipple continuosly for 2 mins or so and then does if for like 3 days in a row, you can start lactating.. you don't even have to be pregnant.. is your boy sucking on your breasts a lot?

wow, plonak, although quite vividly descriptive, kinda hit it on the mark.

the effect of suckling stimulates the anterior pituitary to release prolactin, a hormone that creates milk.

Another possibility is that you may be pregnant...so I suggest you take a home pregnancy test just to be sure.

It is possible it is not milk at all. It could be a milkish looking discharge.
I have had this happen - 7 years after the birth of my child. I also have had to be monitored by a breast specialist due to lumps. I contacted her as soon as the discharge was discovered, just to be on the safe side. For me, it was nothing to worry about.

I would recommend contacting your doctor and getting it checked out just to be on the safe side.
Good Luck.

A good place to start is your OB-GYN. Let them know what is going on. They will take it from there.
