I know, odd question. But that is what my dad said, because I said I feel sad when I hear a baby cry.

Yes, this can happen. Breastfeeding involves emotional feelings because hormones are released...
If my son was crying I would start to feel milk coming in rapidly... its just your body, mind, and the baby all working together.

You poor thing... I understand your pain, although I broke much earlier than you - 6-7 months!! I really like Sheyne Rowley's 'Dream Baby Guide' book - it's ideas for during the day, as well as at night, aimed at 6-18 month olds. Search for her website on-line - it has a lot of info about her methodology, see whether you think it will suit. You might be able to start using some of her ideas straight away. The idea is that there is a 'going to sleep' routine, a re-settling routine (many aspects the same as the going to sleep one), and a waking routine. The thing that really clicked when I heard her talking on TV was the way she explained why crying it out made no sense - trying to tell your baby that at 1am crying will get you nowhere, 3am same, 5am same, but 7am? Okay, now I'll answer your cries and pick you up, saying what a good baby you are for 'sleeping through' the night! Doesn't that just teach your baby that if they cry for long enough you will eventually come in?? Could make the crying worse... Within a week of starting with her ideas (including using a Safe-T-Sleep), my daughter was sleeping 11-12 hours a night with no intervention from me. She was 6-7 months old. Good luck!

Mine did, no matter who's baby was crying. Actually it never even had to be a cry just the sound of a baby.
I leaked 24/7

Most women that I have talked to say that it has happened to them, and even now, though I have not breast fed for a while, certain things will make my milk come in... I don't leak but I can still feel it come in. Sometimes I don't even know what made it happen!

Yes, the breasts can leak.
Even a mature woman, who hasn't nursed a child in many years, can feel the "tug" of the lactation let down in their breasts when they hear a certain cry. It's all natural.

Sometimes.Eventually they wont.Mine did the first 2-3 months when I heard my baby crying but now that he is 5 months, I can control my letdown so I don't have any leakage!

emotions can cause weird things. Being horny also makes your breast leak so maybe just different emotions
