I know that it may be possible but I believe you may need medical assistance to get the proper hormones in order. I have heard of adoptive mothers who have attempted to lactate so they could nurse the babies they plan to adopt.
My experience has been that after having nursed....then drying up....using an electric pump every hour and drinking gallons of fennel tea (supposed to help induce lactation) I was still unable to get my milk to come back in even though I had been a river only 6 weeks prior. After giving up nursing due to my child's medical complications....it turns out he was allergic to all formulas...Yikes!!! So I tried to relactate desperately but had no luck.
If anyone knows different would be interested to hear.
