Hi,

Yes, she can use it for few more months but it's better to decrease the dose than abruptly stopping it to confirm lactation without it. The need of such high dose may not persist but calcium and vitamin D3 supplements can help with lactation. Keep good balanced diet. Meanwhile, weaning of child will decrease milk requirements and addition of other soft diets with a pediatrician review should be started.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
