Hand expressing or Pumping for a couple days should initiate the letdown response and bring in milk. You can also perform the marmet technique and produce milk rather quickly.
Each of our period cycles conditions and prepares our milk glands for lactation so your glands have matured already so they use of herbs are usually only when there is a physical reason for lack of milk flow or quantity increase vs. attempting to initiate lactation. If anything, it could be counter productive as lactation isn't soley about prolactin.
I think following the KISS principle (keep it simple) in the case is probably ideally suited to your goal.
BTW: Thanks, I'm gunna go clarify that point now!
I completely agree, the combos are for people who are lacking in certain things. I wouldn't expect someone to take all the supplements listed, just what they need to give them a boost and in small amounts of mg too.
@Zormad, that's an add for women who need to mature their mammary glands. Once mature, she can stop.
