Colostrum??? Posted: 10-20-05 00:59am
Hello there, I am 23 I am a new mom my son
is 13 months, I breast fed for four
monthes and stopped, and now all of a
sudden my breasts feel very heavy and I
can squeeze colostrum from them. I took
two pregnancy tests and they both said not
pregnant. Do any of you have any
suggestions or has this ever happened to
anyone before. I am very nrevous and any
help you can give me would be great.

Hi.. I breastfed my baby for 3 months,
and can still express milk from my
breasts. I was talking to a health nurse
yesterday, and she said some people can
express milk years after they breast feed.

I wrote this on another forum but i'll
mention it again just because I think it's
a little out there.
My aunt still had milk for years after she
had both her kids and then it seemed to
have stopped almost all the way for a
couple of years. When her daughter had a
baby she started producing lots of milk
again and she said that her breast would
leak!! She was soo shocked and thought it
was really weird (they all lived in the
same house) but that's something....

I think for your milk to have "come
back-in" you'd have to be pretty far
along. Otherwise it wouldn't be so much.
But then again there are these cases of
people producing milk long after the
baby's done suckling. But then again, I
don't know, I just read this somewhere or
something. That's pretty much where I get
all my information.

I mean I am still producing milk and get
that tingling let down feeling, but,
I am not soaking my shirts or anything,
and don't even need to wear breast pads.
But the milk is there.
