papaya, I would think it's a great idea. Any breast milk is better than none and of course it's better late than never. The only thing I would say against it is that it can be hard finding time to express as well as feeding your ds.
Is your dd dairy-intolerant btw?

papaya, breastmilk has been used for a number of medical conditions, given to older kids and even to adults - I don't know if there is any proper research done on it, but there is anecdotal stuff that it helps.

It cannot possibly do any harm, and as it is a nutritious food and drink package, with antibodies and other good stuff, it may well give your toddler a health boost.
Good luck
