I read the journal article by Reisman and Goldstein that the media 
stories were based on:

Reisman, T., & Goldstein, Z. (2018). Case Report: Induced Lactation in a 
Transgender Woman. /Transgender Health/, /3/(1), 24-26.

It was very well documented, including blood levels of different 
hormones throughout the process of inducing lactation. The patient had 
been taking feminizing hormones for 6 years, and already had Tanner 
stage V breasts when estrogen, progesterone, domperidone and breast 
pumping began, 3.5 months before the baby's births. The authors 
confirmed with the infant's pediatrician that growth and other health 
parameters were normal for an exclusively bf infant.
