Anybody else go through this: Still have my milk supply...

I stopped breastfeeding when Kaylee was a month old and I tried everything. I've doubled up on bras and I wear tight ones at that. I never take them off unless I'm changing into a new one. I wear them overnight too. I take cold showers (and I'm honestly getting sick of them), I've done the cabbage leaf thing and I drink either sage tea or "no milk" tea on a daily basis. I'm getting REALLY frustrated over this. It's been almost 7 months now. What gives? It's not even like it's only a little bit. My breasts are full. Any advice or has anybody been through this?

ETA: DH doesn't touch them at all, so that isn't a factor either...

I had a mammogram last week and I asked the nurse why I still had quite a lot of milky discharge (quite a lot...) after giving up breast feeding LAST AUGUST. She said that this was really normal...

But if you are still getting engorged and having problems, I would most definitely speak to your health practitioner.

Wow I had mine for awhile too, but I haven't had to go through what you are. I would talk to your OBGYN maybe he has some ideas.

11 months after BFing I can still excrete some milk(DD is 14 mos). My hormones were checked and everything is fine....
