Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
No, lactare medicine does not increase weight gain.
For 6 months, you need more energy (350 k cal more) than when you were pregnant. You can use bump pumps, they are also very effective.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Aamir Mohammad
