Judy Dunlap wrote about a woman who weaned at 5 weeks and was still having
let-downs and leaking 5 months later, and was seeking ideas about to halt
the production of milk.

Would it be too radical to gently suggest to the mother that maybe her body
(and her baby) were trying to tell her something?  That is, to suggest that
she put the baby back to the breast?  It would solve the problem of what to
do with all that milk, and be better for the baby?  Has anyone even
considered this?  Just a thought . . .
