    Hi

    i had my LO 14 weeks ago yesterday and i'm still leaking milk.

    I never breastfed and kept my boobs tightly strapped in my bra since. Should they still be leaking? Is this normal for it still to happen this late??

    Also, i've noticed my hair has started to fall out. After my first this happend a couple weeks after but not 14 weeks later!!

    Help! xxxx

    That does seem to have been going on for a while. If you are worried, you could always ask your GP, perhaps your hormones just take a while to get back to normal.

    Not sure about the milk - i bf for 8 weeks and had milk (not leaking tho) up til lo was about 16week.
    Hv at baby massage said hair falls out around the time lo is 3-5mth. Not happened for me yet and she's almost 5 mth. Hope it doesn't!

    I only BF for the first couple of days and my milk took 3 months to go, so I wouldn't be too worried. One of my friends had milk leaking for over a year after she stopped bf! My hair is also coming out big style, my hubby thinks it hilarious!!

    I leaked for a long time too- I think about 12/13 weeks approx. You can use epsom salts to 'scatter' the milk it is a laxative so do be careful. It won't do you any harm just read the instructions and take it on a day where you can stay around home.

    It may take up to three doses but it will work. The alternative of course is to just wait.
