it should have dryed up 4 days or more after the birth thats only if you didnt feed or give them a squeeze .
some woman never dry up after having your first baby the body thinks it needs to produce milk and it does even after taking the pills you can still carry milk...
if you are checked by a doctor and told you are still producing milk and it is healthy you can donate your milk to hospitals for prem babys and unwell babys you get paid for your traveling expences.
all you have to do is express milk freeze it and take it to the hospital sometimes i think the hospital will send someone to collect it they provide all the equiptment you might feel like a human cow but you would be helping unwell and prem babys.

If after a year and a half, you're still lactating, you're either encouraging/stimulating production (ie: pumping) or you more than likely have a hormone imbalance -- usually related to prolactin. There are however a few disease processes that could cause this. Go, see your OB/Gyn specialist He or she may feel it necessary to consult you out to a endocrinologist. At any rate, it is not normal and should be explored by someone with competancy in that field. Best of luck and health!

It isn't abnormal that you still have milk even though your son never breastfed. This happens to many women.
The best thing is to ask your doctor for Dostinex to help dry you up if that is what you want.

are you still producing breast milk? Normally your milk will dry up if you don't breastfeed, I would call your doctor.

It should usually dry up shortly after birth if you are not breast feeding. Contact your Dr and they can give you meds to dry you up.

If you have never breastfed then you should NOT be having any milk production now. You need to call you doctor asap.

should dry up QUICK!! that should be a question asked by a doctor, because the milk shouldnt be there at all, unless you have been breastfeeding.

Usually it dries up within a year... you may just take a little longer. I've had 4, so I know!
