sorta H&F - BFing and weaning
Some might consider this TMI, so consider yourself warned
How long after you weaned were you still able to manually express milk? We weaned over Christmas and I'm still easily able to hand express milk. After struggling with low supply, I find this ironic.
Re: sorta H&F - BFing and weaning
I'm still nursing, so this doesn't come from personal experience, but I have read that it is totally normal to still be able to express milk up to a year after weaning.
I have to say, I'm anxious for that to be personal experience. 15 months and I'm starting to be ready to be finished!

To be honest, always. I weaned DD #1 when she was 9 months old. I was able to squeeze out a drop or two for years after, and throughout my pregnancy.
But I'd say it took a good year for it to go down to just droplets.
