In the video, the woman – who has 142,000 followers – said: “This is going to blow your mind, but did you know that you can leak breastmilk from places other than your boobs like…your armpit?

“One day I was feeding Allie and realised her hair was soaking wet. Then I realised it was coming from my ampit.

“I thought I was just really sweaty but then I noticed this huge lump.”

She continued: “So I squeezed it and milk squirted out. So I went to the doctors thinking maybe I had a third nipple.
