HI
Welcome to Healthcare Magic Forum
Its not normal for breasts to produce milk, bitter or sweet. Get your prolactin levels checked, visit a gynaecolgist/ endocrinologist. No its not harmful.
Takecare.

thanks for choosing health care magic.See secretion of milk from a lady who had breast feed her child in past is normal.This is happening after a long time so you need some investigation to know the cause of this.Hope your menstrual cycle is normal.Some hormonal imbalance is responsible for this.For your partner there is no problem.
