AB Pregnancy  and  lactationinvolve  two  aspects  that  are  socially  and  culturally  associated with women. However, there are a few biological differences between male and female breast tissue. Lactation  and  pregnancy are  viable  processes that do  not  depend  on  sex.  Even  for the  latter,it  is only  necessary  to  have  an  organ  capable  of  gestation.  Ways  to  favor  mammogenesis  and lactogenesis  in  trans*  women  have  been  established.  There  are  protocols  to  promote  lactation  in trans* women, usually used for adoptive mothers or those whose children have been born through gestational  surrogacy.  Chestfeeding  a  baby  could  be  the  cause  of  feelings  as  diverse  as  gender dysphoria in the case of trans* men, and euphoria and affirmation of femininity in trans* women. This study involves a review of the available scientific literature addressing medical aspects related to  pregnancy  and  lactation  in  trans*  individuals,  giving  special  attention  to  nursing  care  during perinatal  care.  There  are  scarce  studies  addressing  care  and specificallynursing  care  in  trans* pregnancy   and   lactation.   Our   study   indicates   the   factors   that   can   be   modified   and   the recommendations  for  optimizing  the  care  provided  to  these  individuals  in  order  to  promote  and maintain the lactation period in search of improvement and satisfaction with the whole process
