That said, I believe it is not unusual to produce breast milk for years after giving birth. That's how you can have old-fashioned wet nurses.
I think this varies with each individual woman. But speaking from experience, after my second child I could still squeeze milk out after almost two years. however this was not the case after ant of my other pregnancies.
I don't think I can add anymore knowledge to this topic, but I just recently noticed that I am still producing breastmilk and my son is 3 and a half. I never noticed it before, not that I have squeezed my nipples to check.
From what I have read on the internet, it can be caused by birth control pills cause it increases your hormones (which I just recently went back on).........its weird and why didn't anyone tell me this could happen!

It is quite common to continue to produce milk up to 20+ years after stopping breastfeeding in small amounts.
As long as you continue to breastfeed you will make milk. I nursed my daughter for 2 1/2 years and produced milk the entire time.

While you are still in the hospital after delivery, the nurses will typically come around and instruct you on how to breast feed if you are a first time mom.
Some women have difficulty getting the baby to latch on and for the first flow of milk to happen. However, don't give up. Be consistent and the milk should start flowing.

The time frame, on average, is between or either 6 to 10 months.Dairy cows tend to be milked longer than beef cows due to the fact that they're selected to produce milk, not raise a calf.

How long does a woman produce milk?
A woman will, in usual circumstances, continue to produce milk for as long as she is feeding her child. Your body will produce enough milk to meet the demand of your baby. If you continue feeding exclusively for 6 months, your body will produce enough milk for this, if you cut to two feeds a day following this your milk production will reduce. It is unlikely it will stop after successfully breastfeeding. There are instances when women cannot produce breastmilk, but this is not the usual.
