Can a women in her fifties breast feed?

No, because when you first are pregnate, you have fresh milk, but after it jst rotens and dries. The first attempt to answer this question shows a profound ignorance about how a woman's breasts produce milk. This is said not to be mean, but please do your research. In a nutshell, the lactation process starts when a woman becomes pregnant and her body begins to produce the hormones that stimulate milk production. Once the baby is born and begins to nurse, it's suckling provides additional stimulation to the mother's breast and her milk begins to flow. Each time the baby nurses it further stimulates the mother's breasts to produce more milk. The previous answer makes it sound like there is a fixed supply of breast milk and will go bad after a period of time. In reality, breast milk is produced on a "on demand" basis. In general, as long as a woman's breasts receive the needed stimulation they will produce milk. Now on to answering the original question. A woman who has stopped breast feeding some time ago or even a woman who has never been pregnant can induce lactation and begin to produce breast milk. With the heavy use of a breast pump over a period of weeks along with a healthy diet and adding some herbs that help with lactation, she will begin to produce breast milk to be shared with the one she loves.
