Cindy, I have had that question quite a few times from various mothers. These mothers all went through a number of tests and nothing was found. That doesn't mean that a mother shouldn't have it investigated because there can be a number of health problems or medications that can cause this problem. But if you need a reference for this to give the mother reassurance:
Barker, Burton, Lieve,eds. Principles of Ambulatory Medicine. Williams & Wilkins, 1982, p. 792
It is not considered unusal for a mother to produce a few drops of milk years after her child is weaned. Sometimes a mother is so concerned about the drops of milk that she continues to stimulate a milk supply by handling her nipples/breasts.
Hope this helps. Valerie W. McClain, IBCLC
