Just found this but please note it's not from a medical site.
"Anthropological reports from all over the world describe efforts by non-lactating woman to bring on lactation by putting the baby to breast, if no already-nursing mother was available, according to D.B. Jelliffe and E.F. Patrice Jelliffe in Human Milk in the Modern World: Psychosocial, Nutritional, and Economic Significance. Such infants were probably helped along with teas or gruels until sufficient milk appeared. While there must have been a high mortality rate in orphaned or abandoned babies, induced lactation evolved as a solution to their plight long before the development of artificial milk formulas."
Every woman is different and I imagine her natural chemical balance may contribute to her possibly producing some milk.
