Question:
Is breastfeeding valid without the cause of hunger, but rather for the purpose of becoming a mahram for the woman?
Answer:
This has been discussed previously. Breastfeeding only occurs from hunger, as in the hadithBulugh al-Maram 8:197. Therefore, breastfeeding is only for nourishment in place of food. If one eats food, one is in no need of breastfeeding. So if one breastfed, the breastfeeding would have no effect. Yes.

لَا يُحَرِّمُ مِنْ اَلرَّضَاعَةِ إِلَّا مَا فَتَقَ اَلْأَمْعَاءَ وَكَانَ قَبْلَ اَلْفِطَامِ
