My baby, who is 13 weeks old and was weaned 2 weeks ago before I went back to work (he was only part-time nursing anyway), wanted to nurse (!).
So I let him ... although I am pretty sure nothing came out and it was just for comfort (he fell asleep).
Is this a thing? HAs this happened to anyone who ended breastfeeding? Is it ok to let him occasionally for comfort only??

Sure, why not? If it works for you, do it!
(Also it took my milk a really long time to fully go away)

who knows, you might even have milk in there, or if it is often enough you might re-lacate!

Aww that is so sweet 
definitely no harm! Breastfeeding is about much more than just food, the comfort aspect plays a big part. Enjoy!

I'd guess there is still a little milk in there. I stopped nursing on my left side in November and there is still a small amount of milk in there. I think it's fine. If you comfort/dry nurse regularly it's possible it will be a supply/demand situation. So it really depends what your comfort and or goals are.
