Regarding postpartum herb (fennel, anise): It's a plant that's traditionally believed to have milk-boosting effects. However, this effect hasn't been scientifically proven. Postpartum herb is thought to have uterine-contracting effects, so its use during pregnancy is risky.

For nursing mothers, the most reliable ways to increase milk are plenty of fluids, balanced nutrition, and frequent nursing. Before using any herbal product, it's important to consult with your doctor or midwife.
