Milky boobies

Cullumpster

Ok so, i have a DS of 2 1/2, i breast fed for about 4 weeks or so but he went on to formula after that as i wasn't producing very much milk. So back to the question in hand i was sitting in the bath the other night when i spotted something white on one of my nips, thinking it was some sort of spot or something i tried to squeeze it, only for milk to come out of my boob :eek:. I showed my OH for him to say ' i told you that you were pregnant' (which he did 2 weeks ago) so we did 2 test, one of those clear blue ones that was £8 incidentaly :eek: anyway is was negative, so my question really is can a women lactate when she is not pregnant or is my body just having a phantom pregnancy? Thanks for reading.

could be a infection hun? do you have you missed a period or feel sick or anything? also are you on the pill ? not really allowed to give medical advice on here but i rekon you need a trip to the doctors

Cullumpster

Yeah thanks, no been off the pill for a few months now had my last period as normal and don't feel pregnant at all.

Forgot to say though don't think it's co infection cause i tried it on my other boob and it came out of there as well :eek:

It can take a long time for your body to stop making milk after you've stopped feeding a child... But not normally this long for a relatively short period of breastfeeding... It could be a sign of something else so if I were you I would go and get checked out by the Dr...

I had my last child dd nine years ago and I still have milk although not much but it's still there I have tried pill's from the doctor to stop it but they are nasty and made me very ill which can hapen ,these day's I just ignore it

There are a few medical reasons (apart from being pg)

I had my son breast fed for 6 weeks and the for the next 11 years leaked in one boob, that's how long it took me to convince a doctor that this wasn't right.

Any way.... please go see the gp and get it check out by the boobie doctor,
Let them tell you what it is, we all like to be armchair critics here but when it's medical, go see a professional.

Agree with Paparika, you definately need to tell GP.

I leak milk still and my youngest is 3. I've never even breastfed!

I've had several tests at the docs but theres no explaination for it! My doc was convinced it was my thyroid playing up but thats fine.

Definitely go see GP.

And next time try Wilkinsons for pregnancy test. They do single strips (dip in cup of wee) no fancy stuff for about £1-£2. We are money savers after all !!!
