When the baby stops taking milk or even before in some women, the body stops producing milk. If it doesn't it may be an hormonal imbalance, but it is not grave. There are pumps to extract the milk.

The more milk your baby drinks or you pump out, the more you will produce. (gradually)

Lactation, producing breast milk, is rare in women who aren't pregnant or nursing a baby — and especially in women who have never been pregnant. A whitish discharge from the nipple may not actually be milk. A common cause of abnormal nipple discharge is fibrocystic disease which isn't serious.\n\nCauses of abnormal lactation include:\nA noncancerous (benign) tumor of the pituitary gland \nUnderactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) \nA side effect of some medications \nRarely, malignant tumors of the pituitary gland or hypothalamus \n\nHowever, since this is not normal, any nipple discharge should be evaluated by a doctor.  Please tell your friend that she MUST go to the doctor to be on the safe side.  It will also put her mind at ease.

NO, it's not the placenta.  It's the amnionic sac that surrounds newborn mammals.  Kittens and puppies have them as well, and so do humans, but human infants loose them before they are born.  \n\nIf you watch kittens or puppies being born the mother will lick the sac away and the licking stimulates breathing in the pup or kitten.

No, that is perfectly normal. I had a brief period of squirts of lactation when I was in middle school. And I asked my primary physician at that time. It'll go away. A woman's body goes through a lot of changes, and sometimes it the hormones have homeostasis problems... just takes time. I've read that article too before.

If you are worried about it, definantely call your doctor or talk to a pharmacist at the drug store.  They would be able to help you a lot more, and even tell you whether you should be on the medicing if you're breastfeeding -- some medicines you don't want passing to the child.  If it's bad enough, they might switch you to a different, safer one.

I heard you can breastfeed without even having kids. Also, my little sister is 15 and she was holding my baby nephew and her breast starting leaking. Have you been around any babies? Maybe you want to have a baby....You should probably go to the doctor just to make sure it isn't anything serious.

Biologically speaking humans should nurse for about 4.5 years.  It's a damned shame our society is so anal about breasts.  But even in our stupid modern world, all babies should get nothing but breastmilk for the first 6 months of life and should continue nursing through at least a year.\n\nFormula is artificial breastmilk that they still haven't gotten right.  It's a blessing for people who truly need it, but it is just plain substandard.

it actually should not a be a problem.  your body needs all of the vitimans it can get while breast feeding.  prenatal vitimans are loaded with all sorts of b vitimans, so if it's ok for the baby in the womb (in this instance) i would say it's ok for the baby out of the womb.

I have inverted nipples...they do come out....they are sensitive thats for sure....sometimes a simple touch will turn you on but a touch too hard will hurt. They are actually more sensitive I believe thats why it's hard to breastfeed when you have inserted nipples.

Of course you would remove the ring while feeding the baby...\n\nBreast implants can sometimes complicate nursing.  I really think you should consult with La Leche League, hang on & I will get you a link. \nBreast Implants and nursing:\nhttp://lalecheleague.org/cgi-bin/aglimpse/33/mnt/WWW/lalecheleague.org/htdocs?submit=Search%3A&query=breast+implants\n\nPiercings:\nhttp://lalecheleague.org/cgi-bin/aglimpse/33/mnt/WWW/lalecheleague.org/htdocs?query=nipple+piercing\n\nYou're really smart to be thinking ahead like this.
