Dear Melody:
It sounds like this mother who abruptly stopped using the breast just
lets down milk easily, and never got engorged or mastitis-prone because
the milk is still moving out regularly. Makes for a promising situation
on getting the baby back on.
There's a LEAVEN article on leaking
http://www.lalecheleague.org/LVsupposed.html
that observes that many women who deal with recurrent mastitis report
that they never leak spontaneously, and so perhaps don't have this
"safety valve" when production and removal are out-of-balance.
