Does anyone else sometimes get the let down reflex feeling in their breasts when they haven’t recently had a baby?
I felt this at work today, of all places, and decided to have a look when I got home. Squeezed the nipples and there’s a bit of milk!
My youngest child is 10. I stopped breastfeeding him 5 years ago (he had a little suck before bed at night at that stage, not the whole feed!).
I have breastfed 🤱 all four of my kids so I know what that sensation feels like.
I’m 44, periods still as regular as clockwork. Started puberty very late, at 20 and had to have hormone therapy to get started in the first place.
Any idea what would cause this??

Go to gp ASAP! Could be a number of different things like pituitary tumour to benign hormonal things
No I still get it 7 yrs later dunno why no tumor still here just nature
I have a pituitary tumour and don't leak, however I get the let down feeling a lot and sometimes my nipples secrete a little mucous type stuff. I was told they aren't related.
I had this when I first started working with babies haha. Was so scared I was super pregnant again and had my period like I had with my own child. No idea why but yes had it happen. Maybe it was me being clucky lol
