Though some women: lactate for up to 3 months after a spontaneous or therapeutic abortion, depending in part on gestational age at time of AB, if your hormonal levels have returned to non-pregnant levels, it's not gonna happen.

Induced lactation: Of course you can induce lactation! There are several protocols available. The key is to get a hospital grade breast pump and pump every 3-4 hours. Check out: http://www.asklenore.info/breastfeeding/induced_lactation/protocols4print.shtml There are many forums for Adult Lactation Relationships. You and your partner will love it!
