No,not true.
The 2 important factors for good lactation are a good healthy balanced diet by you and regular suckling by your baby,and of course a mentally relaxed state of the mother!!
If need be ,you can try cap lactare 2 caps thrice a day and tab perinorm twice a day,both for 15 days.
If effective,continue for 3 months.
