Not a freak, it happens to me too. I think that our bodies want to make sure we aren't going to breastfeed anymore, maybe? I breastfed for 17-18 months, stopped in October, and I just noticed this the other day. Also, I think it might take a while for our bodies to 'absorb' the milk etc that is left. Just my opinion....

hmm, i breastfed for 12 months and stoped in September.  My breasts have definitly shrunk back and beyond pre pregnancy size but am still able to lactate a little.  I find this so bizzare, I know it takes a while to completely 'dry up' but this long?!

I had that problem as well, doc suggested good tight sports bras to constrict.  The more you let it flow (warm showers, stimulation in bed :)) the longer it will take.  I wore a nice snug sports bra for several weeks, even at night and it went away completely.
