I am the mother of two and I nursed both of my boys until they were about 2
>>>years old.  My youngest was weaned about 5 years ago. I still have milk.

I don't believe it is unusual to have milk years after weaning.  When I have
had a helping call regarding that question.  I reassure the mother that it
is normal.  I do tell her that an unusual breast discharge needs to be
checked out, like a very dark-colored, or blood-like discharge.  But if it
resembles milk or colostrum, it is normal.

Something that many don't think about is that "any" breast stimulation can
keep somewhat of a milk supply.  I tell a mother that even certain types of
"love play" can stimulate the breasts to produce milk and oxytocin is
released during an orgasm.  Usually, she says "Oh!..............I see."

I suppose I have then given her enough information.  ; )
