Is it possible for a woman to produce milk when shes not pregnant?

0

Do you mean is it possible for a woman to have some milk leak out of her breasts when she isn’t (or hasn’t recently been) pregnant? Yes; there are some diseases or conditions that can cause small amounts milk production or leaking. So can some medications. If you’re asking if an adoptive mother can nurse her baby, the answer is more complicated. Yes, most women *can* convince their bodies to produce milk for a baby, but not usually a full milk supply. (But every woman is different–some *do* get a full supply.) If you are interested in nursing an adoptive or surrogate baby, you will need lots of *ongoing* help. Please contact La Leche League (see sources section below) for free guidance.
