I had this problem to, I don't know why I kept producing a small amount of milk, but after a while it finally stopped, my OBG-YN took some samples, I don't know why, she did the breats exams and some milk came out, it was a little embarressing. I never asked anyone why or got any answers from my doc. It just finally stopped after a while, bu I was still producing a little milk after my daughter was 2 years old.

No it is not normal, your levels of prolactin are high so you are producing milk, prolactin is the hormone that produces milk in your breasts.
Go to your gyn he will give you medication to stop it, and donīt worry it is nothing serious, that hepened to my mom when he she had my brother.

Prolactin (PRL) is a peptide hormone primarily associated with lactation. In breastfeeding, the infant suckling the teat stimulates the production of prolactin, which fills the breast with milk (lactogenesis) in preparation for the next feed. Oxytocin, a similar hormone, is also released, which triggers milk let-down.


Good luck! ;D
