I had a call today from a former coworker who is working with the infertility
specialist at our hospital.  He is treating a 27 year old who delivered her
first baby about 6 months ago, nursed for 5 weeks, then weaned, and has
continued to leak ever since.  (He did not treat her for infertility, is just
seeing her for this problem.)  I understood that this is not just being able
to express a few drops of milk, but an actual letdown with leaking every time
she hears the baby cry, etc.  Her breasts were described to me as not beeing
firm or engorged but full.  She is not emptying her breasts, no nipple
stimulation during foreplay or intercourse, has been wrapped with an ace
bandage, has been applying ice for the past three weeks.  All of her hormone
levels have been normal.  I realize this is rather sketchy--it was all the
info I was given--anyone got any ideas I might pass on to my friend?

Thanks.
Judy D.
