Best Answer

Yes.

"induced lactation" is a bit difficult and varies person to person, but possible by pumping multiple times a day every day over several weeks. Some medicines and herbs claim to help with this.

Some tumors may also lead to lactation.

If you start from the birth and 6 months forward and only breastfeed and nothing else for the baby you should be protected but it's not 100% safe. And it's only up to 6 months. It's a myth that you can't get pregnant while lactating and breastfeeding. You can.
