Doctors' responses

—Yes, it is possible to induce lactation without pregnancy, especially if you have previously breastfed. Since your body has already undergone the hormonal changes of pregnancy and breastfeeding, it is generally easier to stimulate milk production again. 1) Use a breast pump or hand expression 8–12 times per day, including at night if possible. Aim for 10–15 minutes per breast per session, gradually increasing if comfortable.Frequent and regular stimulation is key to signaling your body to produce milk. 2)direct breastfeeding is more effective than pumping alone. The baby’s suckling strongly stimulates prolactin and oxytocin. Skin-to-skin contact also boosts milk production. 3) some medicines which will increase prolactin level to induce milk production -Domperidone 10 mg orally twice daily for 2 weeks 4)Gently massage breasts with warm sesame or coconut oil 2–3 times/day to stimulate circulation. 5) tab Shatavari twice daily after meal 2 tab

How many months should I use doperidine tab for inducing

No thats not possible. Lactation is a process associated only with pregnancy due to the hormones being secreted post delivery. Without pregnancy breast milk cannot be derived. If you can specify the reason we can look into other options to help you.
