Question
My daughter is 18 months i never breastfed her but my breast are still leaking why is that and how can i get it to stop.

Answer
you can try using cabbage leaves on your breasts, placing them inside your bra until they wilt over and over until the milk dries up.

you can also drink sage tea and see if that helps dry up your milk.

It is however not all that common for this to happen so I suggest you talk to your doctor and have your thyroid checked as well.

best of luck!
