This is odd first because I stopped breastfeeding my son since he was 3 months old, now he is 4yrs old next week and I still have a lot of milk. my husband is not to be blamed for it bec. he never touch me there ever and one more weird thing is my age, I am 48 years old now. Is my milk still good for donating? Please reply anyone there!

What can I do next?

Did you mean 4 months, or 4 years old? If you meant your son, is 4 months old and you stopped nursing a month ago, it can take a while for milk to dry up completely. If he is 4 years old, you need to see a Dr.

Go to your OB. I have a prolactinoma in which there is a small tumor that produces the hormone prolactin and causes me to produce breastmilk. I had a similar situation in which I stopped breastfeeding and 6 months later I was still producing milk.
A friend of ours had a tumor in her uterus and because of that her hormones were going crazy and she started producing breastmilk.
This is not normal. I would highly suggest you get checked out.

I stopped breast feeding five months ago and I still have some breast milk. I don't need pads or anything but it's there.

I am 51 years old, and have produced a small amount of breast milk for 26 years. Never breast fed. Doctors didn't find anything wrong, I have always felt fine. I consider it a nuisance but live with it. Don't know what else to do.
