I'd say there's nothing to worry about. I weaned my last one about 1 and 1/2
years ago. I can still express milk and ocassionally feel let-downs with some
dripping. As long as her hormone levels are normal it should be OK. Get her
out of the ace bandage before she damages something.
Leaking post weaning was once explained to me this way: Your breast LIKE to
make milk that's their job. Just because there isn't a baby to feed right now
doesn't mean that the baby won't need milk later. It might be a protective
mechanism that mother nature built in---in case the baby were to become ill
or a famine came around.
