Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
medicines do not improve lactation.
If you free yourself from worry that you are unable to breast feed your child,
repeated feeding,confidence that you can feed your baby like any other woman
Will improve lactation.
Any way after 6 months you have to wean the baby from breast and start milk cereal mixtures and other foods.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
