Pregnancy naturally stimulates the breasts to lactate. If you are wanting to lactate even though you are not pregnant, you must go through an induced lactation protocol. Lenore Goldfarb along with Dr. Jack Newman created this protocol. Here is the link.

Women who adopt an infant can take the hormone Prolactin which will help start the lactation process, but direct stimulation is needed to continue producing - via a breast pump or manual nipple stimulation. Lactating is a supply and demand situation. Some drugs and herbs have a side effect of milk production, but you can also induce lactation via breast pumping, or heavy suckling from a willing partner.
yes that's weird
Well, it is not normal unless you or some one else is playing with or sucking on your breasts, which would stimulate hormones that start lactation. In this case, your body has been tricked into thinking it needs to produce milk for feeding. My suggestion is to refrain from touching your breasts for two weeks unless actually necessary.
Yes you can. Inducing lactation is not age dependent. Even if a woman is into menopause, lactation can be started. It only takes a desire and a level of dedication and patience to make this happen. Remember, the purpose of breasts is to make milk. That is what they are designed for and with the proper effort this can happen for you.
you masturbate. but using the word induce makes it sound like you're not ready to ejaculate, or that you haven't reached puberty, or that you want to force it out or something. make sure you're ready first.
Well 7 pounds and 5 oz isn't really that big so probably not. If you are realllly ready, you may be able to talk to your doctor about inducing you , if that is what you want.
Yes, but why on earth would you want to do that. You would have to be pumping your breasts every 2-3 hours around the clock.
A dog should only lactate (produce milk from her mammary glands) if she is about to have puppies or is actively nursing puppies. However, a non-pregnant dog may lactate due to a pseudo-pregnancy; when the reproductive organs reset to "not pregnant", the lactation will cease as well. There is a slight risk that the lactation could be due to a medical issue such as a tumor or infection, so it may be helpful to have your dog seen by a veterinarian.
12 hours complete darkness,12 hours light....thats about it really
Congratulations on two counts. First that you have chosen to adopt and will be soon caring for a young life. Second that you have decided to care for that little one in the very best way. As you know, breastfeeding is the best possible way to feed your baby. The most important element in inducing lactation is your positive attitude about nursing your child. If you keep that attitude, you will be able to successfully breast feed. In preparing for the arrival of the baby, nipple stimulation is the key. And this means LOTS of nipple stimulation. The best source is a quality breast pump. Use a hospital grade double pump 6 times a day with pumping sessions 20 minutes each time. I know this sounds like a lot but your baby will thank you in the end. Your doctor can prescribe a drug regimen that may aid in starting your milk supply. You do need to carefully discuss the timing of the arrival of your baby with your doctor so that the baby will be subject to picking up hormones from the drugs when nursing. Of course the other person to stay in close contact with is your lactation consultant. She will be there to give you encouragement and counsel so that your baby willl end up with the very BrEaST.
the doctor may want to induce the labor at exactly 9 months. yes it will be normal.
