Lactating when you're not breastfeeding?

I had my third child ten months ago and havent breastfed within nine months. I still lactate. Is this normal. With my first child, I lactated even three years after her birth and I with the sole purpose breatfed for a couple months. My breasts are small and they're not "full" or anything. They lactate at the slightest amount of pressure. Has this happened to anyone else?

Wut is similar to the best condoms?

Some women produce milk for years after a baby. It isn't much, only a little. But, you shouldn't be releasing milk similar to that. I would suggest you talk to your doctor roughly speaking it. It could be a hormone thing, which can be well corrected. It could just be your body doing what it requirements to do too.
