The term "male lactation" is not used in human medicine. It has been used in popular literature, such as Louise Erdrich's The Antelope Wife, to describe the phenomenon of male galactorrhea, which is a human condition unrelated to childbirth or nursing. Newborn babies of both sexes can occasionally produce milk.

Rare accounts of male lactation (as distinct from galactorrhea) exist in historical medical and anthropological literature. [25] Most recently a subject of transgender health care, multiple case reports have described transgender women successfully inducing lactation.
