I have several times (not on Lactnet) proposed that a study be done on how long milk could be expressed and/or drips spontaneously after weaning. As far as I know, noone has ever taken this up as a project. It seems to me that it is high time it were done. I would point out that there is a difference between spontaneous leaking almost every day and being able to express a few drops of milk. We still need to define the limits of normal. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems to me that spontaneous leaking years after nursing 6 weeks is beyond that limit. Don't forget Kathleen, that if you are meeting these women at breastfeeding conferences, they probably breastfed long and/or many. Jack Newman, MD, FRCPC
