Answers:
Men increase the production of milk they can make by taking something called Estrogen!. Its basically a female hormone!.

Men can already produce milk without female hormones, read this!.

"Yes, in theory, men can breastfeed!. Male breasts have milk ducts, and some mammary tissue!. They also have oxytocin and prolactin, the hormones responsible for milk production!. There have been reports of men who were able to produce milk through extensive breast and nipple stimulation, but no one knows whether the milk was of the same composition or quality as the kind women produce!. Using a pump, or a feeding tube (a small silicone tube attached to a plastic bottle filled with formula) at his breast, he might be able to get a baby to latch on and suckle, but how long it would take to produce even drops of milk is anyone's guess!."Www@Answer-Health@Com

If something comes out of the male nipple, then they need to seek medical attention right away because this is a sign of breast cancer in men!. Men do not have mammary glands so there is no way for them to lactate!. Also, the female hormone, oxytocin is responsible for the production of milk!. This can only happen after a female has given birth!. So to answer your question, the male would need to have mammary glands implanted into their chest and become pregnantWww@Answer-Health@Com

It is possible for some men to lactate, it's just not very likely!.
In lay mans terms, men have nipples cause in the womb we all start out as females, it isn't until the activation of certain genes that cause a flush of either testosterone or estrogen that make the final determination of male or female and by the time that happens, the cells that make up the nipples have already begun to form!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Men can lactate, not all men can and its not very common, but it does happen!.
