can a girl breast feed if shes never had a child?

Question

im curious if a girl can breast feed when shes not had a child..or does the milk not start til after the child is born...and does the milk stop after the child stops breast feeding..plz give info on this topic

Answer 1

yes sometimes a woman can brreastfeed even though she has never given birth ........talk to your drs about it ......... you can research it on the web .......but they are medications that can be given to make your body produce milk . and yes breast milk is a supply and demand so after they are no demand then the supply diminishes. hope this helps ya the reason i know this is i had problems with my milk production and ran across an article about adoptive mothers breastfeeding their adopted children

Answer 2

the milk starts to process to your breast after you have your first child.However if maybe you have adopted a child or whatnot and you want to breastfeed but i hasnt processed yet then you can go to a doctor and i belive there is a medication that will get the body flowing and produce a milk.However its not as healthy as a true milk process but it is still healtier then what they sell at the stores.I hope this helped you out.! && to answer your queastion about if it stops once the child stops it actually doesnt until 5 years after having your child.If u have another child within 5 years then the years renew over again.

Answer 3

yes she can. the brain can produce the chemicals necessary for milk production souly on suggestion. there was a couple that did a study to see if the father could produce milk by letting the baby suckle and it worked. in one breast he produced milk. if a man can do this then a women defiantly can. I hope your not some child snatching sicko.

Answer 4

i don't think that a girl can breast feed...
a woman on the other hand can only breast feed if she's delivered a baby. and once the breast feeding stops, the milk will slowly stop being produced.

Answer 5

No cannot breast feed if you have not been pregnant...If you did have a child, the milk stops being produced after you stop feeding the child breast milk

good luck

Answer 6

Lots of nipple stimulation can cause a woman who has not had a baby before produce milk. Nipple stimulation releases hormones into the girls body that are responsible for milk production. Different medications can cause a woman to lactate also.

Answer 7

There are hormones that can be prescribed to you, possibly as injections so you can lactate. This has been done for women who are adopting a newborn or had a surrogate mother, but still wish to breastfeed. You will need to speak with your OB about this. Not an easy thing, but not impossible! Good luck!

Answer 8

the only way she could is if she was pregnant and lost it, but she would have had to been far enough along for her body to start producing milk..

I lost a baby once and I started leaking breast milk.. I don't remember how far along I was though..

Answer 9

I think it is possible becuase
1) A woman can breastfeed a child that is not hers

and

2) Men can lactate.

Okay, I don't think a girl can BREASTFEED, but I think milk can come out.

Answer 10

Yes, sometimes a woman can breastfeed even though she has never given birth. I read it in a sociology book about South American tribes breastfeeding muilti children even if feeder is 'not' pregnant.
