Leaking boobs: is this normal?

Mrs.ChristieMrs.Christie
in Babies on the Brain
I posted this over on the breastfeeding board, but it is being ignored apparently. I bf'd my son for 6 months and didn't leak much at all. Now two weeks after I've totally weaned him I am now leaking from both sides (for the past few days). Not leaking all over the place, but I have constant spots on my shirts/bras. Is this normal? I didn't experience this with my daughter. Thanks!

    Its not - not normal.  You apparently haven't dried up yet.

    She just means it's not abnormal. And no, it's probably not abnormal or anything to be concerned about. Just maybe wear nursing pads or snip some pantyliners in half and use them so you don't have visible stains/spots on your shirts.

    Alright, thanks. Previously I only leaked when engorged or during a nursing session so I found it strange to be leaking when 2 wks post weaning with no engorgement.

    Meh. Boobs are weird. I think they mostly have minds of their own post-BFing.

    This. It took me MONTHS to dry up completely, even though I was pregnant when I weaned my son. I never leaked during that time, but it wouldn't have surprised me if I had.

    My kid is 4 and I leak on rare occasions.  Normally when my cycle is really long.  Thank you PCOS.

    My son is almost 18 months. I weaned at 6 months. I leaked a little last week.
