If it's a milky discharge from both breasts, and assuming there's no infection, then it could be a problem with her pituitary gland.
She should get a referral to an endocrinologist who can diagnose the problem, if no other diagnosis is forthcoming from the usual bloods etc.

Its not common.
Any discharge from the nipple should be investigated by a doctor as it can point to something more serious like breast cancer.
