A member asked:

Can the prolactin hormone be artificially produced for men who want to breastfeed?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Takes more: It takes more than prolactin to generate any significant milk production from a normal male. There would need to be adequate breast tissue "primed" with estrogen and progesterone, and then interaction of oxytocin and prolactin.
