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.

When will you have breast milk?
Most women begin lactating during their pregnancy, although those who have not previously given birth or breast fed, produce very little until after their child is born. They will continue producing milk as long as there is a need, once the child is weaned the breast will slowly stop producing milk entirely. Many women can re-lactate at a later date without going through a pregnancy - by stimulating their nipples. If a breast starts producing milk without pregnancy or cause, she should be seen by an endocrinologist for hormone imbalance. Men, given the right hormones can also lactate, although most go through their lives without using this ability.
