A virgin can breastfeed. The hormones that trigger breastmilk to be produced are Prolactin and oxytocin. These are are pituitary (not ovarian) hormones. Because of this a woman who's never been pregnant or has had a hysterectomy may be able to lactate. Both are produced in response to nipple stimulation by massage, breast pump, and baby's nursing. This can be assisted by taking lactation-inducing drugs called, galactogogues. This includes drugs like Domperidone and herbal remedies like fenugreek.
