Can a 44 year women who has had silicone implants and did not become pregnant be able to breast feed a child? If so how would she be able to do this with out being pregnant?

You can also start your milk on your own, by pumping. You would have to pump often every couple hours or so to get the milk going. And i'm not sure how long it would take.
