You can talk some medication that brings it back.

That’s how some mothers that adopt are able too!

Or like the “pregnant man” his wife took the same medication so she could brestfeed!

Well, while some moms continue to produce milk even years after weaning it sounds as if you do not have any. However, pumping and allowing your infant to suckle can stimulate the milk ducts to start producing milk – even adoptive moms do this with their children that they didn’t deliver. You’d want to ingest a galactologue, such as fenugreek (copious amounts but it does lower blood pressure so be careful), and pump frequently – like every 2 hours even at night.

It’s not too late but it would be arduous, and you have to consider whether it’s worth it.

no, you can’t because when it all dried up the milk won’t go back anymore. the milk comes out only after you gave birth. you just have to eat and drink more so it would flow freely.
