I have been curious about this for a long time, and have always read with
interest any time the subject comes up. With my oldest, I nursed her for a
year. (I unknowingly assumed a nursing strike was the end of nursing.) I
leaked drops for about a *year* after weaning! I attributed that to the
fact that I was working in Pediatrics, and was hearing lots of babies
crying.
I can't imagine what would have happened if I was in your client's
situation. As Margaret asked, how do you ensure someone is "dried up"?
