A member asked:

What should i do to start producing breast milk?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Difficult.: It's not usually possible, but sometimes women can try to induce lactation through high dose hormone supplementation with estrogen, Progesterone and prolactin. I don't know of a 'regimen' to accomplish this, but have heard anecdotal stories of success with this.
