Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
I have read your question in detail and I know that you are very concerned about your child.
Yes, you can give lactogen to 2 week baby. It is safe for the baby.
But, you should try to breastfeed baby as much as possible because it's best for baby.
I hope this will help you.
Wishing your child good health.
Take care.
