    How much milk are you talking about? If you are talking about milk gushing out, then no, it's not normal. However, if it's a trace that comes during nipple stimulation in sex, then could happen. Even if you never breastfed, your body still makes milk.

    If you have another baby, sounds like you should definitely consider breastfeeding, as your breasts obviously make plenty of milk.

    If you want to get rid of it, try some sage tea.

    The Minera releases a small amount of the hormone progesterone which is involved in milk production. Normally, the amount is small enough that it should not cause milk to be secreted, but as you've had a baby, and if your sex life involves a lot of breast or nipple stimulation, this could be enough to keep your milk supply going.
