Information about Witch's Milk
Witch's milk or neonatal milk is milk secreted from the breasts of some newborn infants. It is the result of the influence of the mother's hormones prior to birth. Witch's milk is only secreted by infants born at full term, and not by the breasts of prematurely-born infants. It normally resolves without treatment within one to two weeks after birth.
Popular culture

Upon being told that it's called "witch's milk," he becomes distressed and thinks the baby is possessed. "What did I do?" he asks. "Was it the fiddy [sic] men I killed?"See also
