It's quite possible... there used to be such things as wet nurses - women who would nurse another mother's baby. Also, adopting mothers can lactacte -- it happens if the nipples are sucked enough.

I have that problem sometimes, but I lost a child over a year ago and right after that I was put on Depo Provera and they still do it. My doctor told me it probably because of the birth control

there are certain medicines that can cause this, it is called galactorrhea. also, the hormones and steroids used in cattle for milk production that are passed into milk can also cause this. it happened to me...I had to start buying brands of milk that are labeled organic, no hormones or steroids used. and I no longer even have a uterus or ovaries...so it can happen even if you are not pregnant. the milk also caused my eight year old daughter to start spotting...but when we changed the milk that stopped.
