Is it still possible to increase milk supply after four months of breastfeeding with low milk production?

In most cases, it is still possible to increase milk supply even if breast milk production is low at four months postpartum, and this can be improved through dietary adjustments, warm compresses, massage, and other methods.

Generally, breast milk secretion may be relatively lower at four months after childbirth. Mothers can increase their intake of protein-rich foods such as chicken, fish, and legumes, which helps enhance milk production and achieve the effect of lactation stimulation. Applying a warm towel to the breasts for warm compresses can also promote blood circulation, help dilate mammary ducts, and thereby increase milk supply. It is important to ensure that the temperature of the compress is not too high to avoid burning the delicate skin of the breasts. Under medical guidance, mothers may also massage their breasts to help clear blocked ducts and stimulate milk production.

Mothers should ensure adequate sleep, rest as much as possible, avoid excessive fatigue, and actively adopt effective measures to promote lactation.
