How about measuring the woman's prolactin?

Subject: milk
Now that the silly season is upon us, may I venture to air the
following question:
A GP phoned last Friday. A 32 year old non-pregnant female had
presented with a bottle containing what she claimed was her own
breast milk. At this stage the GP is not interested in investigating
galactorrhoea, but would like to establish whether the sample is
truly her breast milk (as opposed to cow's milk etc). The GP says
the sample "does not smell like breast milk" but, not being an expert
in these matters, I am unable to comment. The sample is slightly
pink, and appears to contain blood, but has not been tested for
anything yet.
Any suggestions please?
