Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
If mother's milk is not available, alternatively formula milk can be given.
Lactogen is not bad, it can be safely given.
But every effort should be made to improve milk yield of the mother as no formula is comparable to mother's milk.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
