Drying up

Drying up

I gave birth a month ago and didnt breastfeed for reasons out of my control.
I had no pain in the drying up process so I gathered my milk wasnt coming in properly anyways, however a month on and I can still squeeze milk out. It doesnt leak freely thankfully but i seem to still be producing a little. Anyone know how if this or normal? Or how long it will take to stop?
Google is telling me nothing.

Fairly certain it's normal. Maybe stop squeezing because stimulation (even just a little amount) might be sending signals to produce milk...
If you're worried, speak to your MCHN. But I think I was still producing milk for a number of months after I finished
