Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
She can safely take lactare tablets.
However, apart from medications, she should follow following measures to increase the milk secretion:
1. Drink at least3-4 litres of fluids in a day.
2. High protein diet including milk and milk products, pulses, nuts, sprouts.
3. Can take a table spoon of jeera ( cumin) powder2 times a day. This is a safe method to increase the breast milk supply.
