Hiya
So I guess I would have been a wet nurse in another life time because I am still producing milk nearly 6 months after weaning my son from nursing. With my first son- this happened once shortly after I stopped when I was holding my infant neice. She was just born and the next day I was a leaking mess!
This time around - I have been around no infants and I am STILL a leaking mess! Any ideas or thoughts to stop the flow would be great. I have tried cabbage, allergy meds and reduction on liquids- all things I did when I weaned my son from nursing.
Thanks gang!
Sounds like something you should talk to your doctor about.
I agree with Mamazita, talk to your doctor about this.
In the meantime, have you considered donating some of your milk to a milk bank for mom's who don't have enough milk? Are you producing enough that you are able to do this? Just a thought.
I do want to add a caution about natural remedies. Cabbage is harmless, but some remedies can actually cause more danger than good. Just be careful when using natural remedies.
Could be a pituitary gland tumor - check out this and talk to your MD; http://www.endocrine.niddk.nih.gov/pubs/prolact/prolact.aspx
Definitely talk to your doctor. I also leaked milk when I was not breastfeeding and it turned out I had a prolactinoma, which is a pituitary tumor. I don't want to scare you; it isn't cancerous or anything, but if that is what it is, it needs to be treated.
I drank Earth Mama's No More Milk Tea when I was trying to dry mine up. That combined with the cabbage in the bra seemed to help me.
