RP- I just lactated?!?!

does anyone know if it is normal to lactate LONG after closing the milk factory?

We EBF until 10 months- right before her 11 month bday she was done all together. Baby and my body pretty much made the decision for me- she lost interest, and I slowly stopped producing. She is now 15 1/2 months so it has been a good 5 months of absolutely no BFing.

Tonight she was in the tub and I was chatting and cooing and laughing with her. I felt something wet on my shirt, but thought it was bathwater. I looked down to check and yep- milk. SO weird! I "checked" the other side and a tiny bit came out on that side, too.  

Not sure what to think- does anyone know if this is common? And it looked normal, BTW- not bloody or odd.

I had no milk left at all when I moved DD to donated BM at 10.5 months. She's 26 months and I can still squeeze a little out. It leaked occasionally until a few months ago. Seems weird, but it's normal.

My mom said she would occasionally leak years after weaning my little sister.

I'm pretty sure it took me a LONG time to dry up - like, 5 months easy. I often had a tiny let-down every so often. If it looks normal, I wouldn't be concerned. I'm sure it's just your hormones. But still, weird!
