No, lactation (the production of breast milk) is typically triggered by hormonal changes during pregnancy and childbirth.

Without the hormonal signals associated with pregnancy, the body is unlikely to produce significant amounts of breast milk through pumping alone.
Properly defrosting breast milk can take anywhere from 4 to 12 hours in the refrigerator. It is important to never defrost breast milk at room temperature or in hot water to ensure its quality and safety for the baby.

Always ensure your hands and equipment are clean to maintain hygiene.
