A member asked:
Is there any way to generate milk if a woman is not a pregnant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hormones: Lactation in the female breast is dependant on several things. Hormones such as Prolactin, Estrogen and Progesterone prepare the breasts for producing milk. A Gyn Dr can prescribe a variety of hormones to mimic the conditions necessary for lactation. Once the milk production begins, it can be maintained by drawing off the milk every 2-3 hours on a regular basis.
